BOOK EARLY AND SAVE $1,000 PER COUPLE WHEN BOOKED BY MARCH 26, 2018 CALL US AT 1-877-813-3329 x 257 | 1 Letter from the President Dear Friend of the Museum, I invite you to join The National WWII Museum on a comprehensive tour of the sites made significant during the Battle of the Bulge. Expertly researched by our own staff and led by Luxembourg native and longtime friend of the Museum Roland Gaul, this is the most immersive tour of the Ardennes available today. From the famous “northern shoulder” of the Bulge near Elsenborn Ridge through the Bastogne Corridor and to the Luxembourg Ardennes, you will trace the routes of the last major German offensive in the West and encounter the heroic stories of the American soldiers who fought and won the largest and costliest campaign of World War II. In late 1944, few thought that a massive German counterattack was possible. Rome fell on June 4, and two days later, the largest amphibious invasion in history brought more than 150,000 men to the shores of Normandy on D-Day. By the end of August, French and American soldiers were marching through the streets of Paris.
