Destroyed trucks at Koevering after the corridor has been reopened.

During the night the Germans on the road at Koevering retreat back towards Schijndel. In the morning the Allies find their positions deserted but the road is still heavily minded with boobytraps everywhere. It takes hours to clean them all up and before traffic can start again.

Now that the British have been evacuated from Arnhem, the corridor leads to a dead end above Nijmegen.

The operation ends here.

My name is Joris Nieuwint and please let me be your tour guide! As a local who has lived in the Operation Market Garden area for most of my life, this battle is now part of my DNA, and I have been studying it for almost 30 years. Since 2012 I have been active as a Battlefield Guide and over the years I’ve have taken many individuals, small and large groups, relatives of veterans, school groups, and military groups and staff rides on tours all through Europe. What began with guiding in the Operation Market Garden area has since expanded to include the Hürtgen Forest and the Battle of the Bulge and more.
