Operation Market Garden, The John Frost Bridge, Arnhem, Netherlands.

Описание к видео Operation Market Garden, The John Frost Bridge, Arnhem, Netherlands.

A tour of the area held by the British 1st Airborne Division during Operation Market Garden in September 1944.
The area is quite small so I start close to the modern memorial park before moving up onto the bridge itself. I was really surprised at how small the bridge was and the width of the crossing. My admiration for the what the 82nd Airborne achieved with their crossing of the Waal at Nijmegan increased tremedously while in Arnhem. The fact they crossed the river is amazing but that they thought they could...beggers belief really.

None of the original buildings (or bridge for that matter) survive as they were all destroyed during Market Garden or soon after.
