RE-ENACTORS SHOW part 1
We emphasize that this is a scene re-enacted.   This overview is also an impression of that time.
A farmer is in the distance call, as a woman is, walking next to her bike
Children didn't know about the struggle that soon would take place 
The Germans inspect the farmers cart, and steal some goods and bread
The farmer protests, but he knows he couldn't stand a chance...
He walks away, and a small farmers wagon approaches
 
In between the Germans also steal the bike of the woman as they 'confiscated'everything they could use
Oh my, the wagon appears to hide a few people of the resistance.....  !!
The resistance men are being taken under arrest, the situation is very tense !
   
Under threat of fire-arms they are being searched on weapons or other information...The officer smells peril !
 
The men are detained in the old mill of Eerde, they will be interrogated later on  
The old wagon is also searched for weapons or other stuff...
 
Suddenly the situation changes, the Germans have spotted American paratroopers !!!!!
 
The Germans grab their weapons, shoot two resistance men on the spot who lead the Americans to here
Suddenly it's panic all over the place, the street, around the houses, the shooting has started !
German soldiers try to win terrain on the Americans but they meet fierce resistance...
 
The Germans face their minority, and soon the US troopers march on !
They steadily win meters, hiding behind bricks and trees.....
Wounded men fall on both sides... 
The first wounded men can be treated by the medics...
