Sorry, but this reasearch is just underway so will take some time. Firstly I want to finsh my story for the Soc. of Friends of the Airborne Museum newsletter (mini stroy) about Tactical Divison HQ, next to finish is the research about the battle around Graftombe at Oosterbeek (hight 65.5) and after that the research about the Borders at Renkun will be the next....
I know Paul ! Have still several moving-boxes with 1 Para Battalion material. A lot of C-Coy 3 Para at Arnhem, a box with information about von Tettau, and a large one about 1 Airlanding Brigade HQ at Arnhem (together collected with Philip).... because I helped other during 1994-2004 I had no time to write myself and since then the family at home got a bit larger... Seems I do not have to bore myself for a long time... Last months I am reading a lot about Pegasus 1 and 2 and wonder why there are no good detailed books about those ops... So topics enough to research and write about... Also still reenacting Gp's end Commando's so have to be carefull with my spare time...
Do you also write in English, which I assume is not your 'Mother tongue'? Sometimes it can be difficult researching in more than one language.
reading English, German, Dutch and French is no problemm. Writing in German or English is a different thing (and French I will not try), but I have friends living in the UK and Canada who are willing to help to translate my scripts so that everyone does understand it....
