Expert guides and EIU's Dan Crews will describe each area and site in detail, and will discuss how the events affected the outcomes of WWII.

Planned visits include:
• The Anne Frank Museum,
• General George S. Patton's grave,
• Bunkers used by German soldiers,
• Fox holes from the Battle of the Bulge, and
