From "It never snows in September, Robert J. Kershaw."

One of the finest books written about the Arnhem Campaign, especially the first few chapters where it describes in detail the efforts made by the Germans to stabilise the front after the debacle of the retreat across France.

- General Heinz Guderian

"With amazement and disappointment, we discovered in late October and early November that the beaten Russians seemed quite unaware that as a military force they had almost ceased to exist."
- General Blumentritt

"In all my years as a soldier, I have never seen me fight so hard."
Lieutenant General Wilhelm Bittrich - Commander of II SS Panzer Korps - (Commenting on the British Paratroopers at Arnhem) - September 1944

"Had Clark given more heed to Juin's views...the savage battles of Cassino would probably never have been fought and the venerable house of St Benedict would have been unscathed"
Rudolf Böhmler - 1st Fallschirmjäger Division - 1944 (After the bombing of Monte Cassino)
