  • Summary

  • In December 1944, the Allies were nearing victory. After the successful D-Day landings in Normandy, they had freed a vast portion of Northern Europe, including Belgium. However, in an unexpected move, Hitler initiated a desperate offensive in the Ardennes Forest, spanning Belgium and Luxembourg.


    From the Bastogne War Museum, journeying through Houffalize and on to Peace Wood, immerse yourself in the tales of Henry Mignon, a child whose life was deeply affected by the Battle of the Bastogne. Witness the wartime winter, the ebb and flow of the German soldiers in his village, the tragic death of his father, and the eventual liberation by the Americans. Join us as we follow in the footsteps of history and uncover Henry's story.


    With this podcast, Liberation Route Europe breathes life into the paths the Allies charted during World War II. Tune in on-site for an immersive experience, or let the audio guide whisk you away on a journey to these landmarks steeped in history.
