Description
Eisenhower National Historic Site is once again taking part in the Gettysburg National Military Park Winter Lecture Series. This program is held in the theater of the Gettysburg National Military Park Museum and Visitor Center.
In 1945 Walter Cronkite and Robert Musel referred to The Battle of the Bulge as a “Germany Gettysburg- representing the high tide of the enemy’s ability to wage offensive war…” Their words would prove to be true, the grueling fighting in some of the harshest weather conditions Europe had to offer, did prove to be the last major push the Germans could muster in the Second World War. What legacy did the Battle leave behind? How is the ground upon which it was fought preserved? What does this story tell us about preserving places like Gettysburg? Join Ranger Philip Brown as we explore each of these questions.
