Just after midnight on October 23, 1944, approximately twenty paratroopers of E-Company, 506th PIR, 101st Airborne, led by Lt. Fred “Moose” Heyliger, crossed the Lower Rhine into German-held territory in Holland. Their mission—evacuate 125 men of the British 1st Parachute Division, survivors of the Arnhem fighting, along with a mixed group of Dutch resistance fighters and downed American airmen. Not long after crossing the river, the E-Company paratroopers made contact with their British counterparts whose gratitude could not be contained despite the danger nearby. Amidst handshakes, gifts of red berets, and the frequent expression, “God bless you, Yank,” all would make it to the boats, across the river, and by 1:30 a.m. were safely behind American lines, thanks to the daring of Operation Pegasus Red Devil" paratrooper Major Tony Hibbert, Ed Mauser, Brad Freeman, Earl McClung, Clancy Lyall and Joe Lesniewski.
