Alsace Then and Now - The Battle of Sigolsheim & Riquewihr -Then and Now

[Jürg]

Hi all

I just returned from another of my *Stand where they Fought" Tours. Once again I went to Alsace as this area saw some of the most violent and desperate fighting’s in autumn/winter 1944 at this theatre of war.

As aid before many know about the Battle of the Bulge or D-day but only a few know of this also important and bloody battles fought on French soil. Here is my tour report for the Battle of Sigolsheim as well as the German Operation Habicht (Hawk).
