On September 17, 1944, Groesbeek was the setting for the parachute landings for Operation Market Garden. It was on the front line until February 8, causing the village to suffer severe destruction. The hills and valleys of Groesbeek are beautiful. They originated about 200,000 years ago during the penultimate ice age, the Saalian, when the glacial ice came to a standstill here.
