John Frost Bridge
My wife and I watched A Bridge Too Far the night before we arrived in Arnhem. We wanted to refresh our memories about what transpired here. Watching the film helped put into perspective the events that led up to the carnage that occurred here. We visited the little museum near the northern base of the bridge and learned even more about the key players involved in Operation Market Garden. Then we walked across the bridge and tried to envision the ferocious fighting that went on here. Pretty amazing. Clearly this is not the same structure that was the focus of the Battle for Arnhem, but it is a fairly truthful reproduction. Take the walk across and back, and stop to ponder the bravery of those who fought here.
