  | Where are these Germans buried now?  POWs captured by 51st Highland Division bury and mark the graves of German dead, 1 November 1944. Emil Zimmerman Gunter Jurgs are easiest two to read. I'm not too good on the vdk site. My German isn't that good. Gräbersuche | Fragebogen Where is this location in the photo likely to be? 51 HD were involved in Operation Colin then, weren't they?

| Operation "Guy Fawkes" was being put into effect 1st November, to liberate the "Island". 5th Camerons were sent to concentration area at Loensche Hoek area of the Aftenwaterings canal. Guy Fawkes, not surprisingly was to start 4th/5th November. Loensche Hoek is not far from Waalwijk.

| Danke , Philip und Richard. So if those lads were killed 16 & 18 October in that area that Richards says, who was operating there then. I can't find anything. (Op Colin didn't start until 23rd Oct.) Last edited by Owen; 12-04-2008 at 11:19 PM. |

| A guess, but could it have been the Yanks, 101st maybe. They were in that area for Market Garden and were fighting around that area from September to November.
