Liberation Operation Market Garden Commemorated with Paratroopers on Ginkelse Heide
Dozens of paratroopers jumped over Ginkelse Heide near Ede during commemorations of Operation Market Garden, despite initial weather concerns. Approximately 40,000 spectators watched the event, which concluded the Falcon Leap exercise involving military personnel from twelve NATO countries. The original 1944 operation aimed to liberate eastern Netherlands but failed due to strong German resistance, resulting in thousands of casualties on both sides.
