Description

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.

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.
