Al MurrayHOST

Al MurrayHOST
When we were stood on the bridge at Arnhem, you were saying, I've never been here before.
Al MurrayHOST
I can't believe it.
James HollandHOST
I know, I know.
Al MurrayHOST
At the moment, when we're talking about, is our wee, tinky little army too tiny, right? You think of what they're doing to get garden on the road is absolutely boggling.
Al MurrayHOST
It's giant resources, relentless juggling of the resources, and obviously the plan not surviving... contact with the enemy and bridges it's all about bridges in operation garden but not just the bridges that the airborne carpet is supposed to seize but the possibilities of course of demolitions or damage to existing bridges but and and it's really important to stress this the thing they're preparing for is new bridges that need to be constructed over each of the main water obstacles once the operation has succeeded all those crossings have been seized so that you can not be relying on one road, one bridge, so that you can actually upscale your advance.
Al MurrayHOST
If Market Garden works out, then the idea is to use Arnhem and the crossing of the Neide Rhein as a springboard for an offensive into northern Germany around the Siegfried Line and the Reisfeld.
Al MurrayHOST
So a huge amount of traffic will have to cross Arnhem as well as at Nijmegen.
CourtneyHOST
So that was an excellent way to wrap up the Amsterdam portion of my trip.
CourtneyHOST
And then I took a train down to Arnhem, which is southeast of Amsterdam by about an hour.
CourtneyHOST
There is a national park down there that has a museum in it called the Krollermuller Museum.
CourtneyHOST
And it is the largest collection of privately held van Goghs in the world.
CourtneyHOST
And Helen Kroller Mueller started collecting Van Gogh's in like 1912 or 1915 from Joe Van Gogh, who was Van Gogh's sister-in-law.
CourtneyHOST
And she... always wanted to build a museum around the Van Gogh collection.
CourtneyHOST
Well, this is the first time since 1984 that their entire holding of Van Goghs were at home in Arnhem.
CourtneyHOST
And so they did- Oh, because
Dan SnowNARRATOR
With Paris liberated on the 25th of August, the Allies began the long advance to the Rhine.
Dan SnowNARRATOR
But on the 17th of September came the disastrous airborne assault at Arnhem.
Dan SnowNARRATOR
For the 56th Fighter Group, it was the worst day of the war.
Dan SnowNARRATOR
Given the job of flak busting, 16 of the group's 39 Thunderbolts were shot down.
Arjan EikelenboomHOST
I was invited by Wouter to come to one of his hotels.
Arjan EikelenboomHOST
in Arnhem, and it was beautiful.
Arjan EikelenboomHOST
We had lunch, and my plan was to enjoy the surroundings and have a nice dinner.
Arjan EikelenboomHOST
But all of a sudden, I ended up during lunch in a COVID crash.
Monique KalkmanGUEST
And just in the year before I became paraplegic, I chose for tennis because I had a dream in tennis.
Monique KalkmanGUEST
But when I got injured and there was no wheelchair tennis, when I wanted to get into sports, when I saw sports in school and I saw the Paralympics in 80 in Arnhem, the next best thing was wheelchair table tennis for me.
Monique KalkmanGUEST
With a record, with a ball and looking at what was possible.
Monique KalkmanGUEST
That was possible.
Guillermo ChaconGUEST
There had been a longstanding relationship between the program in Nijmegen and Paul Stalinga had established that with Professor Worthington a long, long time ago.
Guillermo ChaconGUEST
So Stalinga spent a sabbatical here at UW and he extended the invitation for our residents to go to Arnhem and rotate there.
Guillermo ChaconGUEST
And that started happening back in the 80s.
Guillermo ChaconGUEST
And since then, every year, every chief year, there's actually the second, one of the residents will go the second half of the junior year and the next chief would go the first half of the chief year.
BillyPANELIST
He got sacked straight after.
DanHOST
It was that week that he sent the B team out to Arnhem.
DanHOST
That was good times.
DanHOST
A simple question.
Mark BayneGUEST
It's the coolest damn thing.
ChrisHOST
Yeah, there was a pretty sizable event that concluded a couple weeks ago in Arnhem.
ChrisHOST
and seeing the pictures from over there was absolutely beautiful.
ChrisHOST
And so now you do have like that European aesthetic going on there, but you got to see like the vehicles they have over there, the architecture is just really fantastic.
Lewis PhillipsHOST
Then, all of a sudden, Chase and Kawasaki are announced to have severed ways, and those rumours have stopped? And I'm like, where did those idiots go with these rumours? Which obviously isn't happening.
Lewis PhillipsHOST
We even predicted that Chase visiting Arnhem would fuel nonsense.
Michael LindsayHOST
I've still seen a bit of them.
Michael LindsayHOST
There's still a few of them.
