VIew north from the south bank towards the Oosterbeek (Lonsdale) Church (off centre right). Operation Berlin was the evacuation of the British 1st Airborne troops from the Oosterbeek perimeter on 25/26th September 1944. This is the patch of ground over which the evacuation took place. This image looks from the Royal Engineers Memorial on the south bank of the Lower Rhine towards Oosterbeek. The Lower Rhine runs across this image (see the white channel maker pole just to the right of centre) with the area on the north bank inside the Oosterbeek perimeter.
