Northwestern Europe was the scene of prolonged and heavy battles west of the river Rhine between September 1944 and March 1945. It took approximately 200 days before the Allies finally crossed the river Rhine in full strength and were able to finally defeat Nazi Germany. Battlefield Discovery focuses on this unique part of World War Two history. We do this by researching this time period, providing consultancy and lectures and leading battlefield tours.

Discover the operations and former battlefields with us. Join us on a unique experience to well known and ‘off the beaten track’ locations, learning the special stories that shaped the outcome of World War Two. Hear, see and learn what it was like to experience this period in history at the locations where history was made.

    Edwin took me on private tours of the Operation Market Garden battlefields surrounding Eindhoven and Nijmegen. Absolutely fantastic tour on both days. Having pictures and maps along the ride for both days helps one see how the cities and battlefields were situated in 1944. I especially liked all the private collections he took me. The stories the guides at those small museums told were outstanding and there was no way I would have known about them if I hadn't gone on Edwin's tour. Edwin knows his stuff and I stayed interested for the whole day. Would highly recommend
