Meet Your Tour Guide

My name is Willem Braam, born in 1965 in the Netherlands.

As a young kid, I was touched by the war-stories of my parents and grandparents, regarding World War II  in general, and the Nazi-occupation of Western Europe in particular. 

Aside from my working career as CEO of my interior decorating firm,

I began visiting the battlefields of France, Belgium, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands. 

 

The knowledge gained during these visits, along with the stories told by both veterans & civilians I met, I now share with people who are interested in this part of our history. 

 

After 25 years I handed over my business to the younger generation, so that I can fully focus on what I like doing most: guiding interested people around the various European battlefields, and especially Normandy (Operation Overlord),  starting 06/06/1944 and the South of France / Riviera (Operation Dragoon), starting 15/08/1944.
