In this video we explore the Bois Jacques woods where Easy Company were positioned to help hold the Bastogne's perimeter during the Battle of the Bulge and we take a quick look at the village of Foy which the 101st liberated in January 1945. Later we visit the 101st Airborne Headquarters at Heintz Barracks (or Bastogne Barracks) which was the nerve centre of Bastogne's defence during the siege.
----IMPORTANT----
We are not Historians. We are two ordinary chaps who are learning about WW2 history and documenting our journey. We are exploring this period of history from the sides of both the Allies and Axis. Those with sympathetic views towards the Nazi regime or hold any type of extreme views are not welcome here on WW2 Nation.

I have been there several times. One can sense the spirits. Four of us were there and we all felt it. Incredible place.

very nice video, but actually the guys form the series attacked from a strip of woods a bit more to the right (looking from foy) before the attack they were dug in in the woods in the video

You have created a very nice series -- thanks for it. Some irony in your driving a new Mercedes -- who won the war, again? My father was a WWII combat vet, injured in France. He later mostly drove VWs. Strange world.

Great video, thank you for the work and effort put in to it. Ive organized Harley Davidson chapter trips to Foy numerous times and I know the area well. The last time we were there, we were in small parking lot next to the church and I was explaining what had happened when a car pulled up and the several people inside ask what we were doing. I explained and they were totally unknowledgeable of the history of the area. I ask them if they were from the area and they told me yes! What a shame that the youth of today have no knowledge of the important history that took place there.

Only can wish to take a trip there. But wishing aside from a trip. Only hope that those men and that generation understand how truly they are held in the highest respect by so many for their "Monumental" effort and the fortitude it must have taken to do such a service for the world. You have our thanks and God Bless You All! Carry On...💪💖👍

Hey guys you did an amazing Job! What an outstanding production quality. I can't wait for the next vlogs. Just one little note, easy company didn't emerge from those woods where the foxholes were. The positions they took up just before the attack the attack were to the west!

@@ww2nation Easy Coy. stayed for some periode in the woods you showed. It's the area where Wild Bill Guarnere and Babe Heffron both got wounded. The attack as shown in the series was made more to the West, there is a small road known as Route Madam. During the battle the forest edge there would have extended much closer to the village as today. You still have a nice view on the village and It's also from that area that Lieutenant Ronald Speirs made his run through the town and German lines. The farmhouse top window at Foy with the bullet holes you showed was the location of a German sniper who shot Frank Mellet. Shifty Powers eliminated the sniper with a shot right between the eyes.
