WWII Museums

-Personal photos-

The museum section of this website aims at providing a great number of photos to WW2 veterans -especially those who took part in the Battle of the Bulge-. They can then get a clear picture of museums and decide which of them they intend to visit during their stay in Belgium and/or in Luxembourg.

Take a look at Google map to visualize location of museums I have visited up to now.
