HOUFFALIZE // WALKING TOUR // WALLONIA // PROVINCE OF LUXEMBOURG // BELGIUM // ELLA'SLIFE

Houffalize was a strategic location during the Battle of the Bulge of World War II. Specifically, Generals Montgomery and Patton met up here, Montgomery coming from the north and Patton from the south, in their counter-attack against the German forces remaining in the area. The town was flattened on the night of 5–6 January 1945 by ninety RAF Lancasters of Bomber Command to block the key crossroads for German supply columns and the escape route for German forces. Patton wrote a poem in his diary about the bombing.    • HOUFFALIZE // WALKING TOUR // WALLONIA // ...   Camera used: Panasonic Lumix DC-FZ82 Samsung Galaxy A32 5G Stay in touch! Stay safe! Be happy!
