The siege of Bastogne is probably one of the most well known elements of the Battle of the Bulge. In this episode, we're paying a visit to the 101st Airborne Museum in Bastogne which talks not only about the 101st Airborne, but several other lesser known units who participated in the action that took place in the Bastogne perimeter. As a bonus, we were joined by a view veterans of WWII who offered a bit of insight into their experience during the war.
