Perimeter Route Marker 10: The Tennis Court

This is a marker of the Perimeter Route. On this route you walk in the footsteps of the Allies who tried to liberate this region in September 1944. Follow the route and discover not only impressive locations and historical events, but also personal stories from civilians and soldiers who were present at these places during the Battle of Arnhem.

The tennis court behind Villa Hartenstein was used by the British troops as a temporary POW camp. More than 200 prisoners of war were held here.
