My country desperately needed liberation from the most evil system mankind has ever devised too and it were those young brave American, British and Canadian lads who had to do the job for us. Major Winters was certainly an outstanding, remarkable military leader but let us not forget all the other unnamed young men who sadly had to go through hell as well. Without them, I wouldn´t have grown up in a free Germany. Thanks and RIP Major Winters.
Look for the exact place of this assault on google maps. Search for Hemmen Netherlands and find the crossing of 'Randwijkse Rijndijk and Renkumse Veerweg south of 'de Rijn' . You also can search for ' Randwijkse rijndijk 6' and go 500 meters to the left (west); there you can see 'Crossroads' and also the monument of this event. The adres of Schoonderlogt is Valburg - Logtsestraat 4-6.
Very nice Pim! We should never forget what complete strangers have done for us, and in the process putting their lives at stake.
I actually have a infotainment storytelling stage show for high schools to tell the kids in a compelling way (where they seemingly predict the things that unfolded) to get them to appreciate and remember what Candians, Americans, British and Polish fighters have done for us. We should never take this for granted!
i'm coming to visit ND in late May. We're bringing 100 Canadian flags to adorn some graves of Cdn soldiers. I'm wondering if we could email some ideas to each other?

Thanks so much for the great view and narrative. From someone who lost a few Uncles ( two survived) and one was in easy company so I really appreciate your tribute. It means more than you know. Please keep it up. Great work.
Thank you for taking the time to create and post these videos...I would love to see these historic sights one day but for now your videos will have to do...I hope to see more!
@Sanford63 Thanks for yor reply. Do see as well 'Dick Winters Crossroads (65 years later). If there a more sites on or near Hell's Highway, let me know, and I will go there and make a tour of it.
Thanks for giving us a view on the Schoonderlogt Estate as it is 65 years later! It would be nice to link this video to all the other You Tube Band of Brothers-clips.

Ik wist niet dat je zo ver kon geraken als jij dat gedaan hebt. Ben er twee jaar geleden met Ed Shames ( 3th Platoon E Co 506) naar toegeweest.
