101st Airborne – Bastogne – The Aid Station Massacre (Watch)

Battlefield guide Reg Jans talks about the murder of between 8 and 15 wounded Americans in an aid station in the village of Foy near Bastogne, December 20th 1944.

Reg Jans’ deep passion for WWII began as a boy after talking to his grandfather (who had been wounded in 1940 while fighting in France with the Belgian Army) and watching moving picture footage of the D-Day landings, parachute drops over the Netherlands and snow-covered foxholes in the Ardennes. His grandfather’s death signalled a turning point for Reg, along with the realisation that freedom does not come for free and historical knowledge should be preserved and passed on.
