The Airborne Monument in the Dutch city of Arnhem is a monument on Airborneplein in memory of the Battle of Arnhem in September 1944. It consists of a war-damaged column of the former Palace of Justice in Arnhem that has been placed on a pedestal. During the Battle of Arnhem in September 1944, the courthouse was completely destroyed. A fragment of one of the columns was preserved as a reminder of the war and now forms the monument. On 17 September 1945 the monument was unveiled by the Queen's Commissioner, mr. Schelto, Baron van Heemstra. On the column is the date in gilded letters: 17 September 1944.

John Frost Bridge is the road bridge over the Lower Rhine at Arnhem, in the Netherlands. The bridge was inaugurated after the end of World War II, and is named after Major-General John Dutton Frost (1912–1993), who commanded the British forces that reached and temporarily defended the pre-existing Rijnbrug at the same location during the Battle of Arnhem in September 1944. This was the bridge referenced in the 1977 Anglo-American film A Bridge Too Far, although the IJssel bridge in Deventer was used for the actual shooting of the film.
