5 MUST SEE WWII SITES IN THE ARDENNES (Battle of the Bulge Northern Shoulder)

Thanks for your video. Let us not forget that there were losses on both sides and suffering also.

where's that Panther @ 1.00?

The SS was simply devil in nazi uniform

Thank you for your work. Can you tell me if you, or the book you mentioned, have any information about the US 75th Army? My grandfather, R.G.McQueary was a member of the 75th at the bulge. Thank you.

Awesome video

The town of La Roche is another great place to visit, it has a small ww2 museum there which has some fantastic items on display, & there are two Sherman tanks in the town too.

Can I have Bobs contact info. Have been to the Ardennes, but not to those sites. Now I MUST go back!! Great, informative video, thanks for your efforts in making this!!

Sorry I missed these places when I was stationed in Germany.

Great job with this video! Terrific!

I always wanted to see WW2 Sites

Nice video! It is a pity that Poteau (Belgium) is not listed a few years ago there was a war museum there, but I think it is gone. The most famous photos of the Battle of the Ardennes have been taken on the spot behind the museum. 1st and 9th SS against the 7th US Panzer Division.

ik kan uw instagram profiel helaas niet vinden :/

in Bastogne is there still the m4 sherman as a memorial to those who fought? it was back in 2002 when i last saw it

As a Historian when I look at the things made for war I think of the hands that build them 70 or 80 years ago. Either a Tank or Dragon Teeth......those people are no longer alive but their work is.

Story about 11 killed African American Soldiers is pretty shameful for US and US Army, at the end, monument to those 11 men was erected by son of farmer who tried to save them in first place, not by US.

blown it upp, we dont NEED german thanks in Belguim onymore afther the first and the second W.W.

You might not see this but could you help me out with my grandads unit. Like point me in the right direction where I can read combat reports from the time. I have all the information, unit, when he arrived and some of what he did. I just don’t know where to look. My aunt told me he fought in battle of the bulge. I’ve never met him he died before I was born but I have a resume and this is the info on it.
dec 44 to dec 45 he was a platoon sgt with the 38th cavlry recon squadron and they became the squadrons 81&60 mm motor instructor.
Along with prewar and post war stuff. Any help would be appreciated, I also wouldn’t mind paying for your time if we could work something out.

My Dad, Donald Theodore Moore fought in the Battle of the Bulge. He escaped death many times, but 3 very close calls. I'm doing a tribute video of him called: "Dad's Happiness. If it is ok I would like to use a few of your pics please? Hope you can enjoy some of his pictures from the war on our videos at Chris Phally channel: Psalm 91: 1-16 praise and prayer song, O Jonathan O Josephine and some others on our channel. My Dad and Mother stood on the promises of God's Word: Psalm 91, 46 and others. Prayer and Faith and many angels about him carried him through a terrible time in history. Thank you for your work that is so great! God bless you. Enjoy With Christ in Paradise, Carried by the Angels, & More.

Are you allowed to metal detect in this area?

Excellent video, congratulations.

Vanaf mijn vaste camping de la Gileppe...te voet al twee monumenten te bereiken. De rest deed ik meestal op de brommer. Meeste musea al gezien...we gingen sinds 1982 naar de Ardennen om te klimmen, maar tijd om monumenten te bekijken was er altijd...ook Hurtgenwald begraafplaatsen..

11 BLACK people were murdered by antisemitic racist germans. That's horrible, but the real question is: Why did they fight in RACIALLY SEGREGATED platoons? The US troops are supposed to be the good guys, but in reality RACIST NATIONS who didn't give a hoot for blacks and semites, fought each other for world domination. The USA is just another flavour of capitalist authoritarian fascism. Millions of killed civilians all over the world stand testament to that fact!

WOW I HAVE TO SAY I NEVER SEEN THESE 5 SPOTS UPON MY MANY VISITS TO THE AREA! My last with my Dad in 2006! I know of a German MK IV in Hoffelize not far from Bastogne and the German Cemetery yes I seen Malmady !! History is GREAT AND SHOULD BE KEPT FOR THE FUTURE ALWAYS TOO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED!!

What have we learn from the warr? Almost nothing. We still go to Warr iff the coverment is saying this. All the warrs starts with one thing. The coverment and the army. Not the normal people around the world. What have we learn from the second world Warr? Yess we don't kill that many people as then in the time (I think). But the separation between 2 people (vaccinated and onvaccinated against covid) we still do that. Why? I see myself walking with a patch on my shoulder with the name: onvaccinated. WE HATE WARR. that's why I don't visit those places. Because we have not learn anything about it. We still supporting the coverment.

In de Ardennen zoals malmedy is een stad waar veel collaborateurs woonden in ww2 iedereen in België weet dat maar ik vind je kanaal kei goed alleen mis ik hier daar facts van verzetsstrijders die meer deden dan de alliantie strijdkrachten

Very cool

My wife and I were hoping to visit some areas in Europe for our anniversary in 2020 but Covid prevented that. What a great resource for our trip when we make it across the pond! Your videos are wonderful

Thanks

You guys are currently researching my cousin, Robert E Pasley 517th pct. I'm very excited will possibly travel to Europe after the research. Joey you do wonderful work. Thank you

My great grandfather was awarded a bronze star for his campaign in the Ardennes. Miss him!

Bullshit in most parts

Good job. Might have a look at that book.

My grandfather fought the Nazis at The Battle of the bulge!

how many German pow where shot by the allieds ?? is there any documation??as in many utupe ,videos, ALWAYS mention some Yankee troops didn't make POW ?? here a bit of Hypocrisy?

Pieper got away with it at war crimes trial but karma caught up with him years later. I should point out that in another book, U.S. soldiers had a firefight in Germany and the SS finally gave up. Americans took the Germans to a courtyard and executed all of them in revenge for Malmady (this was recounted in Studs Terkel’s book “The Good War”. Don Burgett’s memoirs on the 101 in the war talked about how good those black artillery guys (“Seven Roads to Hell”).

I am going in August, this is such great help. Thank you, thank you, thank you !

When I was in Bastogne in 1965....there was an M4 Sherman on a pedestal......with a hole in the left side.....
Les Griffiths

The fox holes are fake.

Don't forget the Bastogne Museum and the Bois Jacques battle field 4 km away. Recogne german cemetery and chapel...Worth the visit

I’ve always had this daydream/fantasy of visiting these battlefield locations of the European war theater. I had an uncle a paratrooper O.G. Who fought in WWII and was injured during the BOTB. He was machine gunned in the back. Reported dead to my grandmother multiple times and yet survived the whole war. He shocked everyone when he came home and had to convince his siblings that he didn’t die and even my grandmother was in absolute shock.

The last survivor of Malmedy died a few years back in Beaver, Pennsylvania. He was my son in laws great uncle. The man was interviewed multiple times and had his faculties up until his death. An absolute HERO so close to my home and family as well. When he was rescued and brought back to a base camp he was told there were SS soldiers in this ambulance, he yanked the doors open and opened fire on them killing them all. He was rage revenge hate filled battle hardened.

Very interesting video.

Compared to what was happening in the East with the Red Army, the BOTB was a minor skirmish / breakout op that was never going to succeed. It was Russia that did most of the work, by far, of defeating Hitler in WW2 and the battles on the Eastern Front were far larger scale and far more dramatic and decisive for the war. Western WW2 buffs are mostly intent on glorifying the US/UK Canada side of the conflict and the vast bulk of the 2nd World War is utterly ignored by far too many so called 'students' of the war. Many of the huge battles in the East have been totally neglected in comparison to the endless adulation of the US Army in WW2 [the good war] who actually in terms of casualties only suffered minor losses compared to Russia and even Germany.

Great video, thanks!

I would love to go to the Ardennes and metal detect, but I don't know how to find locations to search

bedankt voor het plaatsen lang geleden...... maar toch thanks
