Summary
The Museum of the Battle of the Bulge is the only museum with a British section.
Of course, American and German troops and their respective armaments are amply represented in attractive dioramas. But the museum’s main focus is on the role played by the British in the Allied counter-offensive from January 3 to 16, 1945, and the liberation of the villages on the left bank of the Ourthe.
British veterans have appreciated the museum’s efforts to give them a fair representation, and regularly return to visit La Roche. Veterans of the regiments involved in the liberation of the city have donated equipment and uniforms to the museum, which can be found on the second floor.
