Here's the original bridge over the Maas River that was captured. The earlier Eindhoven Bridge captured by the 101st Airborne has been replaced and we could not get to the Nijmegen Bridge because of road construction. The 82nd Airborne captured the Nijmegen Bridge after a daring boat raid but the German's put up stiff resistance about 2 miles North of the bridge and the operation consequently failed to go any further.
