| The
Airborne Museum was founded in 1949 when the war wounds of Gelderland were
still very fresh... |

| Good
mood for some, not knowing what the story would be after they jumped... |
.JPG) |
|
.JPG) |
| The
last war years were about a mission to a foreign country where neither any
road or hedge was known... |
.JPG) |
|
.JPG) |
| ... the
heavy battle was conducted in a civilian environment with all its
consequences... |
.JPG) |
|
.JPG) |
| ...
the population was forced offhand to leave immediately their homes, and
destruction was their part ... |
 |
| ... many
men also died in a foreign country ... |
 |
|
.jpg) |
| ...
all this is to be seen, heard a,d felt in the hartenstein museum ... |
.JPG) |
|
.jpg) |
| ...
very realistic scenes have been created ... |
 |
| ...
included all kinds of original equipment from both Allied and German sides... |

 |

who ever is interested only a little should visit this museum to see many
things you never saw before... |
 |
|
.JPG) |
| ...
give it a day of your vacation, free day, and also listen to the
interactive comments in your language ... |
 |
| Your
last view inside the museum for now... |
 |
| Better
had been: 'Our morale was brotherhood, fueled by fellowship' it would have
saved so many lives ! |
