'BATTLE OF ARNHEM' TOUR

What was the immediate cause of Operation Market Garden? Why did the battle not turn out as planned ? And what were the consequences on the further course of WW II as well as for the Dutch citizens?

The beuatiful surroundings of Arnhem and Oosterbeek became witness of a traumatic event in history: thousands of soldiers died, were wounded or taken prisoner at war, the ravages in the centre of Arnhem and the evacuation of the Arnhem and Oosterbeek citizens.

Historians continue to debate the reasons of Market Garden's failure but the bravery of those involved is not in question!

According to your interests, we visit:
- the John Frost bridge and its surroundings
- the information center near the bridge
