For lurkers that remember the book and movie "A Bridge Too Far":
The code name, Market Garden, was significant. (snip) Field Marshal Montgomery deemed
it necessary that two American divisions and one British airborne division should secure
a series of river crossings at Arnhem. The American 82nd and 101st Airborne would seize
the two southern bridges while the British 1st Airborne, reinforced by the Polish Parachute
Brigade, would capture the northern bridge. At first, all went well.

The 101st Division took the town of Eindhoven, about thirty miles southwest
of Nijmegen, and its bridge while the 82nd, after bitter fighting and mass casualties,
joined an advancing British armored ground force and seized the bridge at Nijmegen.

Funny how history repeats itself.
About 60 years ago a band of thugs bent on exterminating Jews and subjugating the
indigenous Dutch took over Eindhoven.

Now it seems to be happening again.

I wished the 101 would come and liberate us again.
