There are numerous memorials to Operation Market-Garden dotting the Dutch countryside. The largest military museum in the Nijmegen area is the Nationaal Bevrijdingsmuseum 1944–1945 (National Liberation Museum) located in Groesbeek, which contains many exhibits and artifacts from Market-Garden. Both the highway and railroad bridge in Nijmegen are still intact, though the railroad bridge has been extensively remodeled due to wartime damage. A new Nijmegen bridge, “De Oversteek” (The Crossing) was being completed at the time this book was written; it is located at the site of 1944 river assault by the 3/504th PIR. The Hunnerpark area has been extensively remodeled since the war due to the extensive damage from the fighting; the Valkhof mound is now the home of a museum. Hell’s Highway has been extensively modernized since the war.
