Bastogne Barracks

Bastogne Barracks is a military museum in Belgium housing a large collection of vehicles and equipment from World War II. The exhibition displays tanks, trucks, and other war machines from several nations in spacious halls.

The barracks became headquarters for an American general during the Battle of Bastogne in December 1944, where a famous reply was given to the enemy. This location marks a turning point during the war in Europe.

The museum shows how armies equipped themselves during World War II through the vehicles on display. You can observe the differences in design and engineering between machines from opposing sides.

You can explore the halls on your own or join guided tours with specialists who explain the history and vehicles. Wearing comfortable shoes is helpful since there is much to see and the spaces are large.

The collection displays vehicles from France, Germany, the Soviet Union, and Great Britain side by side, which is rare to see. This allows you to directly compare how different the war machines of various countries were.
