Local departure by coach, then to our overnight hotel in Belgium.
In the autumn of 1944, the Allies reached the defences along the Westwall, or the ‘Siegfried Line’ as they called it. We begin at the Siegfried Line on the German border crossed by American troops, seeing the Dragon’s Teeth defences. We then continue across to the Hürtgenwald battlefield, which one observer called ‘Passchendaele with tree bursts’. Here we follow the story of this bloody battle in the forest visiting the Hürtgenwald Museum, seeing the traces of frontline positions in the woods, as well as seeing the German Cemeteries at both Hürtgen and Vossenack, one of which pays tribute to an incident when a German officer gave his life to save a GI laying wounded in a minefield. We then continue to our hotel near Duesseldorf for three nights.
Includes Breakfast
Today we travel to the northern end of the Rhineland battlefield. Here we look at the American crossing during Operation Plunder near to Dinslaken, and then examine the British and Canadian crossing between the towns of Rees and Wesel, seeing key sites where the units crossed. We also discuss the Airborne story with an examination of the ground where the glider and parachute forces landed during Operation Varsity, seeing the Drop and Landing Zones as well as where the fighting took place. We also visit the Rheinberg British War Cemetery.
Includes Breakfast
Today we look at the Americans in the Rhine Crossing in March 1945, and travel down to Meckenheim and follow the US route to the Rhine near Remagen. Here we see the remains of the famous Bridge, captured intact, and visit the Remagen War Museum. We later cross the Rhine by boat, and see the remains of the Bridge on the far bank, and later visit the site of the massive German Prisoner of War Camp at Remagen, followed by a visit to the nearby German War Cemetery.
Includes Breakfast
We have an early start for our return home.
