Thirty years later the U.S. was helping the Dutch do some aerial surveying in the area of the market garden landings. The team was surprised to see groups of gliders on the ground in some fields. Upon investigating on foot it was discovered that they were seeing the very precise images of gliders that were burned on the ground and burned hot enough to denude the ground under them and prevent anything from growing there. The images were accurate right down to broken wings and fuselages and subsequent comparison to battle photography confirmed the locations of the gliders. The images were somewhere on the Internet but I can't find them today.

Third trooper from the left looks like his M1 is a shorty. I know it is probably an optical illusion but it just looks odd.
