Just an idea to get all people involved on a topic most people will interest... Hope you join in !

On 17 september 1944 XXX Corps did break-out from its bridge head along the Belgium/Dutch border and started its advance north to relieve the airborne troops that landed that same afternoon in the area of Eindhoven - Nijmegen and Arnhem.

The Germans offered severe resistance. With the help of superiour armour, artillery and airsupport the Germans gave way...

I suggest that all interested are going to reconstruct the battle as it happened together...

You can help to put everything you have about this battle here. Best is that we foccus only on the advance of XXX-Corps during the 17th and 18th September 1944. Appart of that I am looking forward to some interesting discussions.

F.

I do hope we can make a clear picture of the battle.
