#ArnhemBFT - the route of C 2Para, approaching the railroad bridge. Standing here you note how deep the floodplain is and the distance to the railway (the dyke used to run out to about the modern train)
The (rebuilt) railroad bridge with the houses visible where the Sprengkommando was. From here LtBerry took one section to capture the bridge while 2” mortars of 8 and 9 platoons would provide smoke cover.
