Market Garden, 20 September 1944. Easy Company, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment and a group of British tanks fought near Nuenen. Contrary to what the series shows, this was neither a random or an independent action. September 20 saw a planned and coordinated effort made by the British and Americans to drive the Germans away from the area east of the bridge at Son and subsequently from Nuenen. It was an effort in which several units fought over the course of two days, one of these being the famed E/506. During this bike tour you will learn about how soldiers and civilians experienced these events via a wide range of personal stories.
Highlights: German armour in Nuenen, the attack by E/506, the myth of Soeterbeekse Brug, Weatherby’s action at Nederwetten, tank battle at Gerwen
