World War II history buffs and those who are eager to learn more about what the Department of Defense calls the "deadliest war in history" can see dozens of incredible historical war sites with a Utah tour group.
Reservations are open for a spot in the Dick Jensen & Alan McKay WWII Germany and Poland tour, scheduled for April 2025. The 11-day trip takes you through the area's sites and living reminders of the war's haunting history.
The WWII Germany and Poland Tour features more than two dozen stops and attractions, all led by an experienced host, Maren Coles.
Some tour highlights include:
- Glienicke Bridge (Bridge of Spies).
- Berlin Wall.
- Bebelplatz (Book Burning Memorial).
- Brandenburg Gate.
- Holocaust Memorial.
- Auschwitz Concentration Camp.
- St. Mary's Basilica.
- Treblinka Concentration Camp.
- Catholic Court Church.
The trip covers decades of history in Berlin, Potsdam, Dresden, Wroclaw, Krakow and Warsaw.
Your first week on the trip includes the travel day to Germany, but quickly transitions to sightseeing and exploring. The first day in Berlin will cover Track 17 Memorial at Grünewald, Wannsee Conference House Museum, and Glienicke Bridge – or the "Bridge of Spies."
One TripAdvisor reviewer described the House of the Wannsee Conference, "A very moving experience to be here and learn more about the 'final solution.' I especially enjoyed the interactive exhibits which help you to look behind what you can see in a document or photograph, and explain things that you would have missed just by looking yourself."
The following days include visits to the Brandenburg Gate, Sanssouci Gardens, including the Church of Peace, Sanssouci Palace, and Neues Palais, Potsdamer Platz, the Tiergarten, the Soviet War Memorial, the Reichstag, the Holocaust Memorial, the site of Hitler's Bunker and many more.
Moving into Poland, you'll see Ksiaz Castle, Wroclaw's Old Town, Auschwitz, St. Mary's Basilica, the Sukiennice (Cloth Hall), and historic Jewish quarters and more.
A Google reviewer raved about the Ksiaz Castle and its unique history. Al said, "Ksiaz Castle in Poland is an awe-inspiring gem! The castle's rich history, stunning architecture, and breathtaking views make it an unforgettable experience."
These are just a few of the places you'll see on your trip. Check out the full itinerary on the Dick Jensen &Alan McKay website.
