#822 Tulips & Windmills-April 16

On the morning of April 16 we were bussed to the town of Arnhem where the "Bridge too far" is located. It was quite a battle site during WWII. The town and sights are quite beautiful as you will see below.

In September of 1944 a major offensive was undertaken to secure the bridges in Holland. The book "A Bridge Too Far" details the events. More information can be found at this site.
