Last weekend, at the Ginkelse Heide in Ede in the Netherlands, we held our annual Operation Market Garden memorial. This time marked 75 years since the largest airborne operation in history took place. Hence the memorial was a large event.
That large that it had the second biggest parachute drop since operation Market Garden itself! (they dropped above 1000 para's)
As the Ginkelse Hei is quite close from were I live, I went early and recorded some video's.
I just decided to watch A Bridge too Far this morning, good to hear about the memorial Jeast.
Too many variables, a rushed plan, and no room for error, not a good combination for wartime actions.
But even so, so many stories in that time span. Many of which we will never know of.
