WWII & the March to Germany
Fascinating perspective awaits on this close look at the war from the other side of the fight.
Explore Munich, the former heart of the Nazi movement, and Berlin, whose post-WWII fate defined an era. In Ardennes, you’ll see how the forested terrain contributed to the failure of the German offensive. The 90-acre Ardennes American Cemetery and the Patton Monument offer more somber perspectives.
