Slide200.jpg
Note: There are accounts from guys in the 44th of the flooded country in the Netherlands.

Slide213.jpg
Notes: Not sure why they were in Holland just after Market Garden. Can see planes in air. Gets at scale of war.

Slide199.jpg
Notes: 44th narratives about seeing Dutch wave below. Quintessentially Dutch scene with windmills. People standing on base of windmill and on ground. Most Dutch farms had several farm houses clustered around windmill.

Slide212.jpg
Notes: Both ends of Bridge Rest on River while Middle Section Broke and Fell into Neder River. Negative received 11/27/44. Probably captured around Market Garden.

Slide204.jpg
Notes: You can see the chutes are different colors to designate different types of supplies. Ground is very flat and looks like England – it’s why Holland was chosen.

Slide203.jpg
Notes: Bombers far into the horizon dropping supplies. Some chutes already on drop zone.

Slide196.jpg
Notes: 9/18/44. Not clear which of the drop zones the 44th went to.

Slide198.jpg
Notes: Labeled boundaries of drop zone and Paulshoef where the 506th landed and where 44th dropped supplies. Think the forest below is where we see some of the photos w/ bombers flying low over dense tree-filled area.
