| Westerbouwing is a strategic hill near Oosterbeek, which was just a small part of the plan of General Urquhart to construct a perimeter. A few British troops occupied this hill. The Germans conquerred this hill soon and had now control over the Rhine and a part of Oosterbeek |

The Dorset Regiment tried
to liberate the Airborne troops at Oosterbeek, but they had to
retreat, because the Germans occupied the Westerbouwing. Nowadays
there is a restaurant on this hill. You have an excellent view of
the surroundings and sometimes you can even see Nijmegen, which is
20 km away. In Nijmegen British Artillery helped the Airborne troops
at Arnhem, by aiming at targets in Oosterbeek. They made a plaque on
the restaurant, dedicated to the Dorsets.
