    This is surprisingly difficult... [​IMG]

    But let's have another go, working from bottom to top ; -

    Son Bridge ( Wilhelmina Canal )
    Best Bridge ( Wilhelmina Canal )
    Honinghutje Bridge ( Maas-Waal Canal )
    Oosterbeek-Laag Railway Bridge ( Neder Rijn )

    :confused:

    Just kidding

    The bridges at Mook,Malden and Hatert were blown, the Honinghutje bridge was the forgotten bridge not noticed in the recon by the 82nd.

    G'day

    Glad somebody knows the question, at least looks at it. The answer to the earlier question was
    Lt Col Wedemeyer. He was an officer at the WarPlans Division who had thought of the plan to which the U.S. largely would fight WWII
    (Europa Fist). He was at the German Staff College in 1936-1938.

    Over to Carl

    Sorry Popski,

    excellent question though. I think the guys over here interested in US generals should have known this...I´m unfortunately too deep into the axis forces...

    in the spring of 1944 Prime Minister Tojo ordered the first official kamikaze attack

    Their first combat sortie was at Leyte in the Philippines on 5 Nov 1944, making three strikes. Altogether, 210 army planes were used as tokkotai (Special Attack}in the Philippines campaign. In the Okinawa campaign, 954 army planes and 1,440 navy planes were lost in tokkotai sorties.
