Actually, indirectly it would have. Another victim of not having enough gliders was that the boats of the Field Park Company, Royal Engineers were...
Allow me to answer you first question. The Dutch railway workers went on strike on Sept 17th and this together with the anger that the Germans had...
I am looking for plans of the U.S. Stormboats. These were inspired by the German Strumboot 39 and was used in both WWII and in Korea by the US Army.
This looks like German equipment who most likely supplied Finland.
I know that in the Canadian army there was a unit that all they did was map making. It was really an art.
I loved ABTF and it is a great place to start. Even the book is only a good place to start. For a really good book on the Arnhem part, pick up...

I am not sure where you got those numbers for the 1st Abn Div. from, but they look pretty close. A few minor corrections; for the 9th, they lost...
Maybe we are, but I like the fact that the engineers are getting some attention so I will continue...[IMG] Because the Germans held the...
