On September 20, 1944, the Allied troops had to withdraw due to the German superior forces in an attempt to capture the Waal Bridge near Nijmegen. The German supremacy was too great and the Allies had to try to reach the other side with rubber boats.
This was a nighttime for the soldiers involved. mare.
The event is commemorated every day with a nevertheless of volunteers who make a Crossing the bank of the bridge every evening as a tribute to the soldiers who died in this horrible event.
