This listing also includes an extremely nice hand-drawn print of "The Windmill of Eerde" a Dutch windmill located at Molen-Eerde, Holland, destroyed on September 17, 1944 during the battle for the sand dunes. The mill was re-built and now has a plaque with the names of the fallen soldiers. On 17 September 2014, a small museum was opened in the mill. Next to the mill is also a monument for the 501st Parachute Infantry Regiment.
"Operation Market Garden was the largest Airborne operation in history. It was an Allied operation featuring U.S., British, and Polish troops designed to take strategic positions from the Nazis in September of 1944 so that the invasion of Germany could begin. Though some Dutch towns and villages were liberated and stayed liberated, the operation was deemed a failure and numerous objectives were retaken and remained in German hands for months.
Of the 34,600 Allied men deployed for the operation, 20,011 came in by parachute, and the rest landed by gliders. Reenactors parachute onto Ginkelse Heide in Ede, a Drop Zone for the 82nd Airborne Division on September 17, 1944. Thousands of Dutch waited by the purple-toned heath for the official ceremony to begin."
