The Arnhem-Nijmegen region played a major role on the world stage at the end of World War II. During Operation Market Garden in September 1944, one of the largest airborne operations in history took place here.
Marked boulders, known as listening sites, are located at 23 locations throughout the surrounding area. At each listening site, you can listen to a radio play in which eyewitnesses, including civilians, Allied soldiers, and German soldiers, recount the impressive experiences of the years 1944-1945.
