  1. “Operation Market Garden 2014” has started planning in 2011 and today appr. 30 persons are preparing this huge, ones in a life time, event. On Sunday 14 september appr. 600 military historic vehicles will start to drive from Leopoldsburg Belgium towards basecamp Veghel Netherlands. On Saturday 20 september the convoy will take off towards Arnhem. The convoy will follow the footsteps of the allied forces known as “Hell’s Highway”. The convoy will be divided in three battalions where one battalion will be a full gear reenactment one. This battalion will operate under military structure divided in four companies e.g. XXX-corps, 101st AB, 82nd AB and 1st Airborne. The other two battalions will have room for all non reenactment participants. There are also amphibia actions and C47 skytrain jumps planned. During this week several activities will be organised on the basecamp and in the surroundings. The basecamp is located spot on former Hell’s Highway. You will also have room to visit historic locations and museums which you can find at www.liberationroute.com. Veterans, commemorations, and festivities will be the word in this week. The organizers are in close contact with the organizers of the ABWO camp at Oosterbeek. Many Dutch military vehicle organisations and re-enactment organisations have committed for this event and are participating in the organisation. As this is a huge organisation effort subscription will be possible at the moment that all details are arranged. This is expected to be by the end of this year.
