Perimeter Route Marker 8: The Needle

This is a marker of the Perimeter Route. On this route you walk in the footsteps of the Allies who tried to liberate this region in September 1944. Follow the route and discover not only impressive locations and historical events, but also personal stories from civilians and soldiers who were present at these places during the Battle of Arnhem.
De Naald was the first memorial built in Oosterbeek to commemorate the war. In a time of scarcity, building material was still collected to realize a memorial. In 1946 the memorial was unveiled.
The route book of the Perimeter Walk is for sale at Airborne Museum 'Hartenstein'
