About Bastogne
Bastogne is a town in southern Belgium's Wallonia region. In central Place McAuliffe, a U. S. Sherman tank and a statue of General McAuliffe are reminders of Bastogne's role during WWII's Battle of the Bulge. Outside of town, the star-shaped Mardasson Memorial honors the U. S. soldiers who fought in that battle. The nearby Bastogne War Museum traces the events of WWII through interactive displays and reconstructions.
