Transportation service for the liberators:

On 17 September 1944 paratroopers of the 101st Airborne Division landed in the fields just north of the Son forest.
When the paratroopers moved away from the dropzones towards their targets, the Dutch civilians met up with their
liberators. Some of the farmers in Son, who lived on the dropzone, offered the paratroopers a hand by carrying their
supplies and equipment.

Below you see pictures of the 506 PIR moving through the streets of Eindhoven with horse drawn carts.
