I was recently (Feb 15) working in the Netherlands and toured Arnhem. What an amazing experience, here's a few shots including the cemetery and the "Bridge too far".

Here's a few more of the DZ
You should know that every year the first Saturday of September the "Airborne march" is held in Arnhem. Very big event, and one helluva lot of fun and beer drinking. Here's the link for details of the march and the specifics. Some friends and I will there. There's also a longer event the end of the month that starts with a 64 k march it called the "posbankloop" it's a no joke ball buster. It goes all night that will be held September the last weekend and is primarly military units. There is also the "Pegasus walk" is very cool you walk all over the DZ to wageningen where they crossed the rhine in ww2.
