Hello everyone! My old college friend and I, both in our late 60s, are eager to explore some significant WW2 sites. We're looking for advice on planning a self-guided tour—are there particular locations that stand out? Any tips on resources or apps that could help us navigate? We want to make the most of our experience but also enjoy the journey at our own pace. Thanks for your help!

It's wonderful that you're planning a self-guided tour of WW2 sites! Key locations like Normandy, Berlin, and the Pearl Harbor Memorial are definitely worth visiting. You might find the app ‘History Here’ useful, as it offers detailed information on various sites. Also, consider creating a flexible itinerary that allows for exploring off the beaten path—there are often hidden gems just outside the major sites. Have you thought about which specific countries or regions you want to focus on?

It sounds like an exciting adventure! In addition to the places mentioned, you might want to check out the beaches of Dunkirk or the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial in Poland. Both are deeply impactful. For resources, the ‘Roadtrippers’ app can help you plan your route and discover interesting stops along the way. Don’t hesitate to stray from your itinerary—sometimes the best experiences come from spontaneous detours! What sites are already on your list?

Exploring WW2 sites can be incredibly enriching! Alongside Dunkirk and Auschwitz-Birkenau, consider visiting the Battle of the Bulge site in Belgium or the D-Day Experience in Normandy for immersive insights. For apps, ‘Geotourist’ provides audio guides at many historic locations. If you enjoy spontaneity, why not leave a day free for unexpected discoveries? What draws you most to these sites—historical significance or personal connections?
