Annually, the Battle of Arnhem is commemorated during the Airborne Commemoration at the Ginkel Heath. Since a few years, many European countries participate in the annual droppings with their aircraft. German air force A400M 5428 was one the aircraft that participated in 2023, dropping paras over the heath at the same spot where allied paras were dropped 79 years earlier in an attempt to liberate the city of Arnhem.
