My name is Joris Nieuwint and please let me be your tour guide!
As a local who has lived in the Operation Market Garden area for most of my life, this battle is now part of my DNA, and I have been studying it for almost 30 years.

Since 2012 I have been active as a Battlefield Guide and over the years I have taken many individuals, small and large groups, relatives of veterans, school groups, military groups and staff rides on battlefield tours all through Europe. What began with guiding in the Operation Market Garden area has since expanded to include the Hürtgen Forest and the Battle of the Bulge and more.

During our tour we will discuss the bigger picture, why an operation was launched, what the goals were and how they were to be achieved. On location, besides what happened there, you will hear the stories of those who fought there, why the locations were important, how they fit in the bigger picture and how they affected the outcome of the battle.

This is all supported by maps, photos, aerial photographs, audio fragments and video to give you the best possible experience.

At the end of the tour, I hope to have inspired you to pass on what you have learned, that you too will help carry the torch of remembrance and help keep the memories of their sacrifices alive.
