Holland & Bastogne 1944–45
Airborne Museum Hartenstein, Oosterbeek
Museum
The story
Urquhart's headquarters hotel, now the museum of the Arnhem battle: nine days in the perimeter, then Operation Berlin's night evacuation.
What to look for
The evacuation route ran south from here to the river — the same river Easy watched from the other side a month later.
