Stop and think about it friends! can you imagine for a second a narrow thrust up through Holland, littered with 1400 broken down three Tonners 60 miles...That is 23 broken down trucks evey mile, if that does not convince you? nothing will... Think about it , 23 every mile!

It is like so many others, utter Crap! as to the three books being the same? Sure, they quote each others books.

let us look at this in another light,if 1400 trucks broke down just on the Market garden operation, how many trucks broke down during the campaign?

It is so utterly stupid, and make one wonder what or where, these tales come from. 1400 three tonnesr yet we never lost one...Oddly enough we had some damaged by shell fire, but they were soon back in use.
Say the Mg lasted a month the the previous 5 months would have produced 7000 broken down trucks. Try to imagine a battle field littered with seven thouands trucks. You can? then how ever did we get fed?
Its not only tales like this that make me laugh out loud,there are a hundred and one others just as fanciful...And yet there are folk around that want to beleive it..........And do! poor misguided souls.
