The WWII Western Front and German Culture Trip is featured in this history guide and journal. Travelers have an overview of WWII events from London to Berlin as well as Austria. Editorial commentary is enhanced with historical maps, excerpts from WWII veteran oral history accounts or wartime letters which are archived with the Legacy Initiative Project. The traveler has the option to make notes on the journal pages in the book. The itinerary goes from London to Portsmouth, across the Channel to Caen in Normandy; there is a visit to Omaha Beach, Pointe du Hoc, then on to Rouen and Paris. Leaving France, travelers go north to Bastogne in Belgium for a study of the Battle of the Bulge. Cemeteries in Normandy and Belgium are featured as well. Leaving Bastogne, travelers continue on to Cologne, Germany, which was liberated by the 3rd Armored Division. Just as Allied forces moved eastward towards Berlin in the spring of 1945, travelers continue on to Berlin where remnants of WWII and the Cold War can be seen. Commentary is also included for Nuremberg, Munich and Salzburg. Of special interest in the journal are maps, photos and oral history accounts from veterans who served in the European theater. The author/editor has lived and traveled extensively in Europe, including a number of WWII-themed trip which provide many of the photos in the journal. The author has taught European history, military history, and German, and is the founder and director of the Legacy Initiative Project which publishes anthologies at a private independent school in Indianapolis.
