In 2024, we followed the trail known in World War 2 as Hell’s Highway.
This route, key to the 1944 Allied military operation called Market Garden, stretches from the Belgian border through Eindhoven, Nijmegen and Arnhem in the Netherlands.
This operation was made famous in the movie A Bridge Too Far, and featured in 2 episodes of the HBO mini-series Band of Brothers.
