Remembering Together: Episode 4 - Airborne Special: Ronnie Weijers Airborne Museum

September 2024 marks 80 years since Operation Market Garden, an airborne operation involving 10,000 soldiers. Whilst the operation was unsuccessful, it became legendary for the bravery shown in an attempt to liberate the Netherlands. Today commemorations of the operation are some of the largest in the Netherlands.

In this episode, Deputy British Ambassador Keith Allan interviews Ronnie Weijers, the Director of the Airborne Museum in Oosterbeek. The Airborne Museum is located in the former headquarters of the British troops during the Battle of Arnhem, as part of the Allied Operation Market Garden. Keith Allan and Ronnie Weijers discuss how the museum has changed over the years and the importance of appealing to audiences to tell the stories behind the collection.
