Was yesterday at Ginkel Heath to commemorate the begin of the Battle of Arnhem.
About 1,000 para's were dropped yesterday in several airlifts (6 C-130's and 1 Dakota were uses) to give an impression of how the situation looked like on 17th September 1944.
Here a video of the take off at Eindhoven airport
