Arnheim Street

Arnheim Street (the more common spelling of the name is Arnhem) honours Allied soldiers who died in the Battle of Arnhem, the greatest airborne operation of the Second World War. In 1944 airborne forces of the American and British armies were dropped behind German lines to capture the crucial bridge over the Rhine River at Arnhem. The operation ended in bitter defeat for the Allies with more troops lost there than on D-Day.
