Battle of Arnhem City Walk

2,5 hours – 5KM

During this Battle of Arnhem city walk of approximately 2.5 hours (5 km), you will learn a great deal about the fighting in and around Arnhem city centre during World War II. Using authentic photographs taken during the battles of September 1944 and eyewitness accounts, the guide brings the story of the Battle of Arnhem vividly to life.

Operation Market Garden (17–25 September 1944) was a failed Allied military operation, planned and largely led by the British. The fighting took place in the Netherlands and Germany during the Second World War. The success of the operation depended on the capture of a series of nine bridges, the final one being the bridge over the River Rhine in the city of Arnhem.
While airborne and ground forces succeeded in liberating the Dutch cities of Eindhoven and Nijmegen, they were unable to hold their furthest positions in and around Arnhem, including the crucial bridge over the Rhine.
