| Books:Touring European WWII Sites |
| These three excellent books provide comprehensive information on the "big stuff" in the ETO. The only drawback is there's not much on the Southern Shoulder of the Battle of the Bulge, and nothing on WWII sites in the KMC area. We've tried to fill this gap with this website. All of the books are available on Amazon, and at least one is in the KMC library system. If you can only afford one and are interested mainly in the Bulge, buy Cavanagh's book. If you anticipate travel throughout Europe, The 25 Best World War II Sites, European Theater covers sites from London to Russia and provides excellent directions. |

| A Tour of the Bulge Battlefield by William Cavanagh. Indisputably the best book for touring the Bulge from the foremost historian in Europe. Most of the chapter on the Southern Shoulder is also available on the website of the National Military Museum of Luxembourg, http://www.nat-military-museum.lu |
| The 25 Best World War II Sites, European Theater by Chuck Thompson. Excellent schematics, well-organized, thorough. This one had sites in Berlin I'd never heard of even though we lived there 2 years. |
| The Battle for the German Frontier by Charles Whiting. A little bit of everything, but a little confusing at times too. Contains schematics, quotes, photos, and tours. |
