This year it is 70 years ago that the south of the Netherlands was liberated and operation Market Garden took place. So in and around the Eindhoven area a lot of events have been scheduled to remember those facts. One of them was an organised trip with more than 300 vehicles from the south of the dutch border upto Nijmegen over the old roads used in WW II.
