Ginkel Heath was in 1944 Drop zone-Y
for the 4th Parachute Brigade. In 1960 the municipality of Ede
established this wonderful monument with emblems from the King's Own
Scottish Borderers, the Parachute Regiment en the Pegasus-emblem.
Across the street near this monument stands Herberg (Hotel/Hostel)
Zuid-Ginkel, one of the former 'headquarters' of the Germans. Also
dead men were buried there, but after the war they were removed from
there. Every year on saterday after September 17 soldiers of 10th
Battalion are dropped there. Sometimes there jump some veterans.
They jump in Hercules transporting planes with the beautiful,
old-fashioned parachutes. |
