The Battle of Arnhem, part of Operation Market Garden, went down in history as a heroic battle fought by the British (and Polish) paratroopers who were dropped behind German lines to capture the Rhine bridge.

The first air raid alarm sounded at 9:30 a.m. on September 17, 1944. However, the resistance from the German occupation was much stronger than expected. Every meter was fought for, houses and churches were destroyed, and 1,700 of the 10,000 paratroopers were killed. During the night of September 25 to 26, the remainder of the British Airborne Division withdrew across the Rhine to the southern bank at Oosterbeek. The Battle of Arnhem was lost.

With a Guild guide, you will visit the places where the battle at the bridge took place.
