The Crossing

72 Years ago, on this day, soldiers of the 82nd Airborne Division crossed the river Waal in small boats. Their goal was to capture the two bridges that cross the river. 48 Soldiers lost their life that afternoon.

Big Shovel

In 1935 construction started on the new park. The work was done by 160 unemployed workers. In the also a football stadium was constructed. A lot of ground had to be removed for the construction. This was done with shovels. As you can imagine it was hard work. The work finished in 1939. This monument is in the park near the stadium.
