(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
After a 1,5 hours drive from Amsterdam we arrive at Dropzone C. This was the landing area of Easy Company. They liked the soft landing in the fields and we can see why. The Paulushoef farm was used as a rallying point and the local people were busy with helping injured and thirsty airbornes. The farm is not open for visitors.
Son en Breugel
From the dropzone we follow the advance of Easy company to the bridge at Son. It was blown up by the Germans. A footbridge was improvised and the advance to Eindhoven continued. Later the German's tried to recapture the bridge with a Panzer attack that was defeated after a hard fight.
Eindhoven
In Eindhoven we see the street in which the people were celebrating while Easy company went forward to capture the Dommel bridge and waited for the tanks of the Guards Armored Division. Later the town was bombed by the Germans.
