Last summer I went on holiday in the Ardennes for a week in Vielsalm. I have visited most of the museums featured in the video here. many of the museums in the Ardennes are not open every day, so it is important to check this in advance. There are also many things to visit outside the museums, in several villages there are tanks and artillery along the road as a memorial.

In Poteau there is a little museum. But the great part there is, for 20€, you can ride along in a 251, a route along old battlefield remains. Really cool

I thoroughly enjoyed this video especially seeing the different museums and the weapons and armor on display. Thank you for the time and effort to highlight the good points of the museums and which ones anyone can pass on seeing.

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoy watching the video.

Great job.

I’m going there in two weeks. Last year it was Normandy. So much to see.

Nice listing of museums. I thoroughly enjoy studying the Ardennes offensive. One of my absolute favorite WW II battles. In my opinion, for some of these museums need to provide more information on the displays and also historical footage would help facilitate visitor experience.

Sometimes museum make the choice, to go for a more clean look then overly placing everything full of pictures and information.

for my the best Museum is the Diekirch Museum

Great video, very informative 👍 IMHO Bastogne barracks is well worth a visit and good value for money. The tour took about 3 hours & the guides are very funny (serving soldiers iirc). He kept my 8 year old son amused with his stories and soldier humour.

Ik ben in op 2 na overal geweest en 2 die in je top 5 staan niet! dus werk aan de winkel voor mij :-) maar ik kan me nu al vinden in jou top5. en ook waarom je hem zo hebt. klasse, mooi gebracht en leerzaam. ik denk wel als algemene liefhebber dat je sowieso alles altijd moet gaan bekijken. maar je hebt inderdaad mooie en minder mooie.

#4 spot, The "Baugnez 44" museum is permanently closed as of January 9, 2023. / Per 9 januari 2023 is het museum "Baugnez 44" definitief gesloten.

December 44 and the 101st airborne museum are the best ones!

Went to baugnez historical center in the 3rd week of november 2022 and some of the breathtaking dioramas that i saw on the internet searching for the adress were not lit on my visit i found this very sad as we pinda paid enough to see nice diorama's i can understand the price of electricity but putting a button that turns the lights on for as long as it's pressed or someone of the museum actionning the lights when people approach it...

First of all I don't think at all that you are stupid and I would highly recommend you to go on. Regarding the La Gleize Königtiger I never managed to visit the museum or the other museums you have mentioned. History for me is important but also accuracy too. In plain English you are provided excellent info. Keep getting on..

Well that sucks, this wasn't known to me when I made the video. Thank you for the info.

101 Airborne Museum has a Dutch owner.

I heard La Gleize King Tiger destroyed 147 Shermans and hold Patton's entire army for 2 months, until they drop a nuke from a B-29 on top of it, and it only broke one track and tank was abandoned shortly after. They found the crew drinking beer in the local pub 3 years after the war ended. The pub become the museum. True story!

Thanks for that, very useful. Regarding 4:50, I'm one of those people who wants to know that an artifact I am looking at is real. Otherwise, I can just go to Las Vegas and see everything from the Pyramids to the Eiffel Tower. So, all those pristine-looking, strong-coloured SS camouflage uniforms in dioramas, are they mostly fake, i.e. reproductions?

I always think most of it is fake, but for the older museums, it probably is all real, but over the years I think that a lot will be replaced just because of conservation.
