    "Immediately, Tyler gave the order to advance. The tanks moved over the bridge and up the road, passing the now ruined and deserted German artillery positions. Within the hour, Tyler saw the sprawl of Eindhoven up ahead and what appeared to be thousands of Dutch thronging the road, cheering and waving flags. 'The only obstruction holding us up now are the Dutch crowds,' Major E Fisher-Rowe radioed back down the column."
