6 ‘Beyond A Bridge Too Far’: the aftermath of the Battle of Arnhem (1944) and its impact on civilian life Reinier Salverda The subject of this contribution is not the Battle of Arnhem in September 1944, nor the sacrifice of British and Polish troops during one of the last great battles of the Second World War, but rather the aftermath of this battle and its impact on the people of Arnhem, starting from 23 September 1944, when the German military ordered the immediate expulsion of all of Arnhem’s civilians. To understand what happened back then, we will draw on a range of contemporary eyewitness reports which bring home the brutal realities of forced evacuation, of the subsequent large-scale plunder and of the destruction of Arnhem between September 1944 and Liberation in April 1945. We will also analyse how, during the next quarter-century, Arnhem made a full recovery, rebuilding and reinventing itself until in 1969 post-war reconstruction was complete. Beyond the standard narrative of the Battle of Arnhem as given in Cornelius Ryan’s A Bridge Too Far (1974) and in Lou de Jong’s Arnhem discussion in his History of The Kingdom of the Netherlands during the Second World War (vol. 10A-1, 1980), we have an important source for Arnhem’s destruction and rebuilding in the findings of local historians. Their accounts provide a remarkable insight into the dynamics of conflict and discord versus the traditions of concord and consensus-building in the Netherlands – of which Arnhem’s history before, during and after the war is a paradigm case. 102
