Market Garden 2024 - Eerde

 



Today we went to Eerde.

While talking with John and
with the head of scouting, and a few schoolteachers,
we saw the parachutists landing on historic grounds.

In 1944 the gliders lande nearby,
so we went there too.
A lot of military vehicles drew a lot of attention.

Witnesses of the battle were still in the wall
of the farm: deep bulletholes.

In St. Oedenrode we had a nice talk
with th re-enacters of the Pr. Irene Brigade,
and two of the people who run a museum nearby.
(They'll have wonderful sweaters soon!!!)

And yes... you know where we had dinner!!
