Travel day...

Finished with our study of the Battle of the Bulge, we'll load up mid-morning and make a five and a half hour drive into Germany for the final segment of our tour.

We'll have one very memorable break in the drive, as we'll head over to the Luxembourg American Cemetery to visit the grave of one General George S. Patton. We'll also visit the graves of several notable and deeply loved Easy men and pay tribute to their sacrifices.

In line with the "Why We Fight" Episode, we'll visit the famous Nazi Party rally grounds, and then head to our hotel to drop bags in this famed German city. Much of it was heavily destroyed, as the Allies settled the score with the German heartland, but it still has a magnificent fortress wall around it and remnants of the old world to enjoy.

We'll head out for a group orientation walk before turning you loose to get dinner and drink beer. You'll love Nuremberg as a first experience in Germany. It has a distinct Medieval feel and a genuine warmth to it.

OVERNIGHT: NUREMBERG
