The HELP FOR HEROES 4x4 EUROPEAN RALLY 2010
follows the path and tells the story of the Allied Invasion through
Europe and includes parts fabled by the Band of Brothers book and
television series. As young men, who knew extraordinary bravery and
extraordinary fear, the Allied Forces landed in France early on D-Day
morning – 6th June 1944.
In addition to Normandy, the H4H Rally route will visit the Market Garden and Rhine offensives at Arnhem, Holland, where on 17 September 1944, in the largest airborne operation ever seen thousands of paratroopers descended from the sky by parachute or glider up to 150 km behind enemy lines.
Our route moves south, to Bastogne in Belgium where in the coldest winter for decades, the Germans made a final push – the Battle of the Bulge. Towards Germany, the rally routing is via the Alsace region of France and its Maginot Line fortifications, then onto Dachau and its horrors of war. We end our journey at Hitler's "impenetrable" Eagle's Nest at Berchtesgaden.
