The Brabant village Oisterwijk and Operation Market Garden
The Nijmegen bridge on 19 September 1944

This RAF reconnaissance photo of the traffic bridge in Nijmegen was made on 19 September 1944. Smoke of a building on fire at the roundabout at the foot of the bridge is clearly visible. This building was burning during a battle that was going on at that particular moment between troops of the 82nd Airborne Division and the German defenders of the bridge and the Hunnerpark near the roundabout.
