According to the Liberation Route Website: "For seven days, the Stationsweg in Oosterbeek served as the Eastern border between British and German troops.

The British troops defended the Western side of the street and hid in the different houses.

The German troops were located in the Dennenkampbossen (woods) on the other side of the road. The woods have been replaced by buildings now.

The houses at the Stationsweg were defended by troops of the 21st Independent Parachute Company, glider pilots and Polish troops of the 3rd Batallion, Independent Polish Parachute Brigade."
