描述
Walk the Alsace battlefield where Audie Murphy won the Medal of Honor. A private, expert-led tour of the Colmar Pocket — WWII's forgotten winter campaign — across seven sites, at your own pace.
The Colmar Pocket is one of the great forgotten campaigns of the Western Front — and one of the most brutal. Between November 1944 and February 1945, the French First Army, with the US 3rd and 28th Infantry Divisions and 12th Armoured, fought village by village through the Alsace winter to destroy the German 19th Army and reach the Rhine. Four Medals of Honor were awarded.
This private, expert-led tour takes you through seven battlefield sites in chronological order. You begin at a 1940 Maginot casemate on the Rhine, follow the fighting through Sélestat, Kaysersberg, Sigolsheim and Bennwihr, stand at Holtzwihr where Lieutenant Audie Murphy made his Medal of Honor stand, and finish at Jebsheim — the "Alsatian Verdun," where the Pocket finally broke.
Led by battlefield historian Matt Menneke, featured on National Geographic and the Discovery Channel, the tour connects each site into one clear story. It's your group only, at your pace, with hotel pick-up across the Colmar, Strasbourg and Freiburg region. A grounded account of what happened here — and why it mattered.

重要信息
This is a private tour — we confirm your exact pickup point and time with you directly after booking, around your accommodation in the Colmar, Strasbourg, Freiburg, Breisach, Mulhouse, or Basel areas.
The tour covers serious wartime history, including combat and heavy casualties, told accurately and without sensationalism. Recommended for ages 12 and up.
Travel between sites is by private vehicle, with short walks on open, sometimes uneven battlefield ground. Please wear comfortable shoes and dress for the weather — much of the terrain is exposed and can be cold or wet, especially in winter. Not ideal for travellers who can't manage short walks over uneven ground; let us know any mobility needs when booking, and we'll do our best to accommodate.
