A German soldier is shot right in front of our eyes !!
Wounded men, shouting from pain, shooting all over the place...
The Americans slowly break the German resistance, checking every hedge and corner of the houses 
The situation seems to get in control of the Americans, around the old windmill now.....  !
A check if he's really dead....
The captured POW (Prisoner Of War) is held into custody...
To avoid any complications with the POW's they are to lay on the ground, and they're searched...
One German tries to fight his way out.....
He shouted 'You Yanks are gonna kill me anyway !! (in German)
But the battle here in the street has been fought. The war is over for these 'Heinrich's '...... 
Still working on the wounded and casualties, and the defeated Germans.
   
The American soldiers are completely in control now of the situation 
The Germans are being removed from the battle-zone...
Heavily wounded men are put on brancards and transported to the field hospital nearby
The Jeep rides to the military emergency field hospital (see page 4 for images)
The last Germans are checked ... but it's all seconds work...
... and the old Mill is watched and held under fire for any unforseen situation !
     
Sharp contrast, the old Mill now 2009, and the 'soldiers in 1944' around it. The Mill is being restored now.

Here they go, the heroes of 19 september 2009 ...... in front of the public of 2009. It is good to remember !
Let's ride with these splendid re-enactors to page 4: Eindhoven Airbase
During this re-enactors battle there was official permission to fire with 'blanks', so the shooting was like for real which made this event even more realistic.
