HISTORICAL / EDUCATIONAL NOTE: As in virtually every other army, it was the German infantry (Heer) that bore the brunt of their nation's fighting during WWII. In combination with the armored and mechanized units, the infantry fought its way across western Europe between 1939 and 1942, and it was the infantry that fought a dogged fighting withdrawal between 1943 and... to there ultimate defeat at the end of the war in 1945. They were supported by armor, artillery, engineers and other combat arms, as well as by the Luftwaffe (Air Force), but the infantry was by far the largest arm and it was the last to concede defeat in the final days. German infantrymen (Soldaten) were hard-fighting, determined and resolute opponents, but due to heavy losses from fighting on multiple fronts, there were never enough combat troops. As the War progressed, casualties and manpower shortages caused the army to increase the number of foreign troops enlisted from territories that had been overrun; although only in a few cases did they prove to be up to reasonable standards of military efficiency and general trustworthiness. Within German resources, surplus manpower in Luftwaffe and the Kriegsmarine were eventually formed into infantry forces, while the last resort was the Volkssturm or Volksgrenadiers (The Peoples Army), an assembly of barely trained civilians, who were either too young, too old or too unfit for conventional service in the army.

Note: Although we have not yet visited any of the Historic Sites, Museums or Cities in Germany, we have visited the Cotentin Peninsula area on a number of occasions, including All Five of the Landing Beaches and many of the museums in the Normandy countryside. In addition we have traveled to Bastogne, and the pastoral farms, and wooded area of the Ardennes, including the Baugnez '44 Museum, the site of the Malmedy Massacre, and the still existing foxholes of the 502nd and 506th P.I.R. We have found both the French and Belgian people, in Normandy and Bastogne, to be very friendly and still grateful to the Allies, especially the American forces, for their liberation… despite the huge loss of life and property damage suffered by the French and Belgian civilians. In addition, should you want to visit the area in and around Normandy or Bastogne, we are willing to share our experiences or trip itinerary with you, which may help to make your travel through the areas easier and perhaps make the historical experience more valuable.
