The <entity_1> or Liberation of <entity_5> occurred in the <entity_4> from 17 to <entity_2>, as part of <entity_0> during World War II. Delays caused by hastily-organised German reinforcements at <entity_5> ultimately led to the failure of <entity_0>. These would quickly seize several crucial bridges across major rivers, after which the heavy armour could advance straight through the <entity_4>, along Eindhoven, <entity_5> and Arnhem, and reach the Ruhr, where a vital part of Germany's war industry was located. At about 18:00 on <entity_3>, the 1st Battalion, 508th PIR (1/508th) left its half-dug trenches at Groesbeek and advanced towards <entity_5> to take the Road Bridge. A rapid advance from <entity_5> to Arnhem to retake the bridge, was blocked by a combination of factors, including sunset, unfamiliarity with the terrain ahead (the Betuwe), German reinforcements near Ressen coming from Arnhem (3 Tiger tanks and 2 infantry companies), ongoing firefights and chaos in <entity_5>, and continuous logistical problems on "<entity_0>", due to events such as the German counterattacks near Veghel. The Supreme Court of the <entity_4>, which the Germans temporarily moved from The Hague to <entity_5> in 1943, was partially purged after the liberation.
