Sept.18,1944.
For the German prisoners of war it was the end. For the Eindhoven population
the beginning.
Voor de Duitse krijgsgevangenen
betekende 18 September 1944 het einde. Voor de Eindhovenaren een nieuw
begin. |

Tired.
Everyone needed to rest but some of them didn't get a chance because the
many happy people of Eindhoven wanted to celebrate their liberation and
have taken photos together with their liberators.
Vermoeid. Iedereen verdiende
eigenlijk rust maar veel soldaten kregen daarvoor niet de gelegenheid
Er waren zoveel gelukkige Eindhovenaren die hun bevrijding vierden en
met hun bevrijders op de foto wilden. |

When
there wouldn't be photos from the Allies entering Eindhoven, nowadays
nobody would believe you when you told them that thousands of people were
standing beside the narrow roads to welcome their liberators, asking for
their autograph.
Als er geen foto's als deze
waren zou op de dag van vandaag niemand je geloven als je hen zou vertellen
dat er duizenden mensen langs de smalle straten stonden om hun bevrijders
te verwelkomen en om hun handtekening te vragen |

Heavy
bombings damaged a lot of buildings in the inner city and outskirts of
the town of Eindhoven. In 1942 there were bombings, but also on Sept.19.
1944. Just one day after the liberation by the 101st Airborne Division,
among them Easy Co. 506 PIR. In episode 4 from the TV-series you can see
that Richard Winters is looking towards Eindhoven watching the burning
city.
In Eindhoven
verwoestten zware bombardementen de binnenstad en delen van buitenwijken.
In 1942 waren er bombardementen maar ook op 19 september 1944, enkele
uren nadat de stad was bevrijd door de Engelsen en Amerikanen. In deel
4 van de TV-serie Band of Brothers kun je Richard Winters in de richting
van de brandende stad zien kijken. |
