I going to spend a full day in Arnhem and then another in Nijmegen in mid December. Besides all the well known sites and museums can anybody give me some out the way/ unusual places to visit please that may be off the beaton track.
Only a little way to the east, the Arnhem '45 side of things, and well worth looking into. http://ww2talk.com/index.php?threads/on-this-day-during-ww2.3738/page-200#post-875299 The "Anger" and "Keystone" aspect of Arnhem gives a whole different perspective. Kind regards, always, Jim.
Hi, You may have seen: Arnhem visit which may offer something of interest .....? Alternatively, a piece involving Pte JAC 'Harry' Brunney, a Hedon man, is at: 133 Parachute Field Ambulance with additional snippets courtesy of horsapassenger: culminating 3 weeks later: ............ if you fancied doing a short 80th anniversary 'vignette' for the Holderness Gazette, in due course?
Have a look in the Betuwe (The Island), the scene of the German counterattack in October 1944 - NIJMEGEN BRIDGEHEAD: II.SS Pz Corps' counterattack in October 1944
