World War 2 Talk - View Single Post - German War Correspondents

Browsing through a German site on Arnhem I came across this article on German War correspondents: Defending Arnhem © 2006

Seems they were required to be soldiers first and Correspondents second. Is this the case on the Allied side?

anyone else got any links?
