THE HISTORY
Airborne at Night is a visuals story we created to commemorate the impact of the Battle of Arnhem during WWII, through a narrative projection mapping show. The audience is taken back in time, and the events of 75 years ago are visually brought to life on facade of the city hall.
It was 75 years ago when Operation Market Garden containing the Battle of Arnhem took place in 1944. The Battle of Arnhem was a battle during the Second World War, which took place in and around the city of Arnhem as part of Operation Market Garden; an allied offensive against Germany in September 1944. What is unknown to many is that the gliders transported men, equipment and ammunition. Over 600 Horsa gliders landed in 1944 at various locations in the Wolfheze region. These special Gliders are iconic for the Battle of Arnhem. Renkum was the center of this battle.
