WORLD WAR 2 ROAD TRIP // Arnhem Netherlands and Bastogne Belgium

As we continue our World War 2 Road Trip around Europe, we visit The Bridge too far in Arnhem Netherlands, and Bastogne, Belgium. Bastogne was a key crossroads in the Battle of the Bulge.

We also visit the town of Foy, where the 101st Airborne held the front line against German soldiers. The foxholes can still be seen today.

Be sure to check out the rest of our videos from our World War 2 road trip around Europe.

During the Battle of the Bulge the men weren’t dressed all that great for freezing weather. There was a scene in Band of Brothers where the director was interviewing real men from easy company who fought in the battle. I forgot which man it was but he was saying that he and his wife went to Hawaii on a vacation. In the middle of the night his wife yelled out that it’s freezing in here because the air conditioning was spewing out cold air. The old man laying in bed thought silently and said to himself that its not as cold as it was in Bastogne. That really touched me. You can tell by his facial expression that it was absolutely freezing when they were fighting the Germans.

[ramonrios]

It’s so important to honor the history of the great men who fought World War II. Great video!

[jenniferhall]

[donnaschilling]

This is such a cool trip! My history teacher son would love it!! What an incredible experience you're sharing with your dad!!!

[DCFotoSF]

What do you recommend in Florence for a hotel ?

[markmullin]

Western Europe has done a remarkable job in promoting and protecting these hallowed grounds for future generations!
They've never forgotten what the American military and allied troops did in liberating their homes.
P.s.thank you for sharing!

If you want to see a Panther tank there should be one in Houffalize, north of Bastogne. Though at the moment it could be away for restoration. And even further north in La Gleize there is a King Tiger. Nobody is going to move that 68t beast, still standing where its crew left it.

Hello respect for your grand father, I got the schame, my grand great father was a Belgain soldier from 1916 TILL 1918 he never talk about the first W W ar, I found his dossier in Brussel, verry moving

[RobLukkien]

@TheAwkwardTourists There also is a much bigger WW2 museum very close to Arnhem (Oosterbeek) that is called Airborne Museum.

[JustinBrehm]

It must be something about those boys back then because my grandfather would not talk about his time served really just little bits and pieces

[frenchfan]

Greetings! How feasible would it be to explore the village of Bastogne without a car? Could one travel to the foxholes in Foy without renting a car? Thank you for your advice and happy travels!

[anthonycassata]

Good video, especially coming from younger people that care about history. I would like to go to those places that you went or are going to someday🤷🏻‍♂️. Lot of history.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🤓

My father was on a Norwegian war vessel in the Canadian part of the D-day zone in Normandie 6th of June 1944

You definitively should eat those "pralines" (chocolates) immediately. As they are made with fresh natural ingredients they go bad after a while. Or so they say because I have never seen a chocolate having the time to get "old" in Belgium.

[susanmance]

My dad was in WWII (New Guinea and the Phillipines) and he never said much about the war either. I think it was probably too painful to talk about.

There is something unreal about Americans researching/visiting what for Europeans is history but for Americans is an outlier. It is still living history
