Sept. 5th the 1st part of The Netherlands got liberated... 12 months of commemorations... Today 1000 paratroopers (aka Airborne) jumped in a field near Ede...
no shit....there I was! Yes the writing was on the wall for Hitler and the bad guys (great band name) around this point. It was a done deal as the momentum kicked in for the good guys.
I can see how you, as a Dutchman, would consider that the beginning of the end of WWII in Europe. But I'd call this the beginning of the end. After this, there was little doubt of the ultimate outcome.
