Dear kopral,

 How much do you know about Europe's Liberation Route? Today marks the 75th anniversary of the D-Day Landings (the first of many key anniversaries throughout 2019-2020) and we're honouring the occasion with our new guidebook Travel the Liberation Route Europe, in partnership with the Liberation Route Europe Foundation. 

And that's not all: we've launched a new section on our website dedicated to information about the Liberation Route; the new episode of the Rough Guide podcast covers the topic with a range of compelling personal stories; and we've put together a set of bookable trip itineraries so you can travel the Liberation Route for yourself.

Until next time,

Jenny
Online Editor
