Airborne Memorial

Got to the Ginkelse Heide, a heather field not far from Arnhem and spotted this memorial there. It's new to me and shows that the allied forces of WW II dropped paratroopers there in September 1944. The purpose was to built up forces against the Nazies and defeat them in Autumn 1944... that wasn't succesful and that war lasted another long Winter till May 1945.

Thank you all lots for your reactions upon my yesterblip with the letter from jail of brave mr. Vladimir Kara-Murza ~ I hope many more blippers will find that letter here or in the Washington Post or another paper, coz it shows how repressive and respectless mr. Putin has his opponents being treated. 

A message of July 4th 2022 from "The Economist" on Alexei Navalny =

Alexei Navalny’s jailers are tightening the screws
Russia’s repression of independent voices grows harsher

Alexei navalny does not complain easily. The leading Russian opposition politician, who survived a poisoning attempt in 2020 and has been imprisoned since January 2021, treats his jailers with defiance and irony. In June he was transferred from a penal colony to a maximum-security prison notorious for its brutality. He is now locked behind a six-metre-tall fence with murderers. Suffering from a bad back, he spends seven-hour shifts seated at a sewing machine on a stool below knee height. To see a lawyer, he must skip a meal.
The goal, according to Leonid Volkov, Mr Navalny’s chief of staff, is to isolate him and physically cripple him. “This is all very serious and very dangerous,” he wrote, even if Mr Navalny himself used his trade-mark light style to describe the darkness of his situation. “I live like Putin,” Mr Navalny wrote in his latest social-media message, posted via his lawyers. “I have a loudspeaker in my barracks that plays songs like ‘Glory to the fsb’, and I think Putin does too.”
