Bent u als organisator op zoek naar een entertainend, educatief en avondvullend programma, dan heb ik goed nieuws. Nu covid ons weer wat meer ademruimte geeft lijkt het me leuk om weer op pad te gaan met mijn voorstelling 'Het Ardennenoffensief'. Twee uur lang, doorspekt met soldatenverhalen, een lach en een traan, maar vooral leerrijk en onderhoudend. Geschiedenis met een hoek af....

When a witness to one of the most brutal battles in recent history opens her home and her heart to warmly welcome US WWII veterans, one realizes that there still is love in this messed up world. At the age of 4, Josephine had a skin tumor removed by an American surgeon during the Battle of the Bulge.

In and around the Belgian town of Flamierge, the 17th Airborne Division took a thousand casualties during the Battle of Bulge. Today 98-year-old WWII paratrooper Bob White returned to the village in which he first saw combat 77 years before. He hugged tightly the memorial dedicated to his former unit.

TOURS-The past decades it has been an honor to host a countless number of WWII veterans and their families on the battlefields, a pleasure to show the Band of Brothers cast members around and to be the guide for a delegation of the White House during POTUS’ visit to NAO HQ and the US Presidential Helicopter Squadron HMX-1. Also I thoroughly enjoyed all the people who used my services because they had a profound history in WWII history. The past year and a half has been terrible because of COVID-19, but starting up again, one step at the time and hopefully at full speed in a few weeks/months from now. Can’t wait to share the stories again of the men who gave their today for our tomorrow.

!!Don’t forget to book your Battle of the Bulge Tour!!
----------------------------------------------
RONDLEIDINGEN- Wat een eer was het om de voorbije decennia gastheer te zijn op de slagvelden voor de WO2 veteranen en hun families. Een plezier was het om de acteurs van Band of Brothers rond te leiden en gids te zijn voor een delegatie van het Witte Huis tijdens het bezoek van de President aan het NATO Hoofdkwartier en het hele presidentiële helikopter eskadron HMX-1. Ook genoot ik van al de mensen die van mijn diensten gebruik maakten wegens hun uitgesproken interesse voor de geschiedenis van de Tweede Wereldoorlog. De voorbije 18 maanden was verschrikkelijk wegens COVID-19, maar stap voor stap herbeginnen we weer en hopelijk zijn we over enkele weken/maanden terug op kruissnelheid. Ik kan haast niet wachten om opnieuw de verhalen te vertellen van hen die zich opofferden voor onze toekomst. !!

Vergeet niet tijdig je tour te reserveren!!

LIONS-Working on the bunker Boys Show the honor was mine to interview my friend Carl Wouters about his field of expertise. Very grateful for that opportunity. Why? Because it is about the heroes of the 106 Infantry Division who never received the credits they deserve. Have a look and justify their exploits. LITW!

This illustrated story book will immerse students and adults alike in the stories of ordinary men who courageously volunteered to join the elite paratroopers. Chris Langlois, a grandson of medic Eugene Roe, who served in Easy Company, collaborated with artist Anneke Helleman from The Netherlands to create an introduction to the men of Easy Company.
