The windmill in Eerde was ready for the four day event called Dropzone-A Eerde
And so was Mr Jackson!
In the morning, Erwin Janssen of the Airborne Committee Eerde, was our tour guide. Great job, Erwin! Thank you!
We had a mission in the afternoon. The dedication of the artwork SHADOWS OF SON HEATH along highway A50 near Son (artist Marcel Smink).
It’s an impressive work of art – at the edge of one of the dropzones of September 1944 – guarded by two SCREAMING EAGLES
Back to Eerde, to the WWII camp behind the windmill
