Comments: I was in Phantom detachment of Royal Signals and flew in a Horsa on 17th September. Flight was aborted at Dongen in Holland and we were taken prisoner. Captain Peter Astbury was in command and our Glider pilot was Alex Campbell of Portpatrick. Our tow plane was a Stirling. We have made contact with Dutch people who kindly invited me over and helped me to relive the event. I am now 90 years old and still in reasonable health.

I've been researching some of dad's history while with the 101 during operation market garden to know where he was during the battle. He is now deceased and lest we forget what he and his buddies sacrificed for the world as we now know it. God bless all those soles who died during the conflict and my father, a soldier to the end.

Comments: What a truly wonderful site... Congratulations! I visited Arnhem in Sept 1984 for the 40th anniversary and the history suddenly became very real to me. My interest in the subject came about because of my father (John Duncan who sadly is no longer with us)was an ex para (4 Para I belive) and although he was too young to be part of Arnhem he was always very proud of his old regiment and what they achieved at Arnhem despite overwhelming odds! I will always remember the emotion he showed whilst visiting the cemetary in Oosterbeek and whilst speaking to some of the "old boys". Arnhem was a special place for him and, in turn, has become a special place for me.

Comments: Bedankt voor U webpage. Het is prima. Het spijt mij mar mijn Nederlands is niet veel goed. I was only three years old when the war ended, so have no direct involvement, but for many years I have been interested in Market Garden. This is for three reasons. (1) Croydon, my adopted home town for 30 years, is twinned with Arnhem - because of its 1 Para association, (2) my birthplace is Birmingham from where several of the South Staffs troops came from - and I have met a few and (3) as a profesional communications engineer and a Radio Amateur I have been fascinated by the communications difficulties which plagued much of the operation - not as simple a wrong crystals for vhf setso. I have read both Cornelius Ryan's book and that of General Urquart - both of which touch on the radio communications issue. I have been searching for Tony Deane-Drummonds book for several years but with no success. This may seem a trivial issue in comparison with the sacrifises of the allied troops and the Dutch people, but it at least gives me some link with our joint histories. Thanks again. John Simkins.

Comments: Ik ben specifiek op zoek naar de OOB van de bij Market-Garden betrokken strijdkrachten en kwam zo op deze website terecht. PROFICIAT daarmee...! De informatie die ik zocht, met name die over het 1e Para Army en 15 Army staat er weliswaar niet op, maar over de formaties die bij Arnhem vochten ben ik wel een stuk wijzer geworden. Een aantal zaken is me duidelijk geworden (bijv. of de 1 AB nu wel of niet over 17 ponder AT geschut beschikte of niet en de samenstelling en uitrusting van een groot aantal Duitse eenheden). Aan de andere kant, enige verwarring levert het ook op Bijvoorbeeld Kampfgruppe Knaust zou volgens uw website uit een achttal Pz III en IV tanks bestaan, later aangevuld met enkele Tigers. Andere bronnen (Janus Piekalkiewicz; 'Arnhem 1944') omvat ze 20 Tigers en 20 Panthers. Daarnaast zou de 'Hohenstaufen'ook nog eens over een 20 Panthers beschikken. Wel erg veel naar mij lijkt. Voldoende ruimte voor verdere studie dus. Indien u bronnen weet omtrent de OOB van de Duitse strijdkrachten die ten zuiden van de Rijn hebben deelgenomen aan Market-Garden dan zou ik u zeer erkentelijk zijn. Met vriendelijke groet, Hajo baltjes.

Comments: I am currently writing a novel which features a character who was involved in Operation Market Garden. Although the character is entirely fictional and his experiences in Operation Market Garden are not the main focus of the book I am anxious to get the details right. One question I have so far is, was there an insignia on the uniform buttons of the 1st parachute brigade? I have imagined that the buttons would have a winged design embossed on them...did they?? For most of the background I am reading Martin Middlebrook's book Arnhem, the Airbourne Battle. Congratulations on a very good web site.

UNFORTUNATELY WE WERE NOT INVOLVED IN THE SUBSEQUENT HOSTAGE RELEASE OF THE ROYAL IRISH REGIMENT. THAT WENT TO THE MEN OF A COMPANY 1 PARA BATTLE GROUP AND SPECIAL FORCES. HAVING SERVED NOW FOR 16 1/2 YEARS I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT THE INSPIRATION OF OUR FOREBEARS, IN ALL CONFLICTS HAS BEEN THE MAJOR FACTOR IN MAINTAINING THE ELITE CAPABILITY THAT BRITISH AIRBORNE FORCES HAVE. THE HIGHEST STANDARDS OF MOTIVATION,SOLDIERING SKILLS AND FITNESS ALONG WITH AN ABILITY TO THINK QUICKLY UNDER PRESSURE HAS LARGELY BEEN PROPOGATED BY THE DEEDS OF MEN, LIKE OURSELVES WHO FOUGHT AND DIED IN NO SMALL NUMBERS FOR FREEDOM.

In het verleden heb ik er veel over gelezen en ook het een en ander verzameld. Nu ik je site lees kwam er weer een oude vraag naar boven. Namelijk, hoe wilden ze de IJssel over? Misschien dat jij daar een antwoord op weet. Verder heb ik nog een punt van aandacht, iets wat je misschien wel voor kan stellen, en dat is dat ik een beetje het verhaal van de burgers mis.

I hope you will excuse me that I wish to make one remark concerning the introduction page: You mention that in 1940 the Dutch army consisted of 10.000 soldiers and that the Germans attacked with 17.700 men. These figures are not correct.One Dutch division counted 10.000 men and one German division 17.700 men. The Germans attacked with Heeresgruppe B, which had 29 divisions. The total Dutch army consisted of about 275.000 men.The Dutch combat forces were divided into 4 armycorpses of 2 divisions each plus a number of regiments which were operating apart from these armycorpses .

Comments: This is a truly excellent website; well organised, easy to use, clearly written, thoroughly researched and containing an enormous amount of information, all of it relevant and fascinating. I am currently doing an A-level history research project on the Operation, and I am constantly referring to your website for all kinds of information. My grandfather took part in the Operation as a member of the Guards Armoured Division, and returned to Arnhem in 1994 for a 50th anniversary memorial event. I know that Arnhem was a horrifying experience for all involved (my grandfather was involved in the artillery, and remembers having to signal to fire smoke to allow the paratroopers to escape as they were being shot to pieces by German tanks.) The immense detail in your site really brings home the sacrifices that were made, with reports talking not of groups but of individual men and their actions. I am amazed at the detail you have managed to compile, presumably from first hand veterans memories. In Britain, especially the south-east, we felt the force of German bombing, the threat of invasion and the suspense of the Battle of Britain, but we find it hard to imagine what it is like to be occupied by an enemy army, to have our freedom and nationality taken away, and to have war raging in our own towns and countryside (we have been lucky enough not to have had a battle on British soil since 1784, with the Battle of Culloden in Scotland, and we haven't been invaded since 1066!) We salute the sacrifices made by the people of Holland, and the other countries involved, and their determination never to give up hope. We must never let such a war devastate Europe again, and never allow such enormous human suffering to occur. The most important way of doing this is never to forget what happened, and sources like your website, with your obvious devotion and fascination with your subject, are an excellent way of keeping the past alive for people today to learn and respect what the people of the past experienced. Well done, and I hope you continue to work on this and other sites, as you obviously have a natural talent for history, research, writing and presentation . from Matthew Foster (Age 17) 30th August 2000.

A minor suggestion: you have links for "personal details" on major officers--however the links only bring up jpgs, while I had expected short biographical sketches. What happened to these guys after the battle? I particularly like your use of audio, particularly how certain audio files are launched to match the accompanying text. Very well done. Thank you.

Comments: I have been trying to contact you, Mr Hoekstra, but my mail to webmaster@marketgarden has been returned. I am trying to trace a Major. Gordon Sheriff who landed with the Parachute Regiment in Arnhem in 1944. He was severely wounded and moved to the German held Catholieke Hospital in Apeldoorn along with Sgt. Don Guthrie and others. My mother worked with the Red Cross and was deputed to the hospital in Apeldoorn from Amsterdam. In her capacity as Zuster Onnie Kroes she recieved several letters from the boys who managed to escape among whom was Gordon Sheriff.She was subsequently decorated for her part in saving several lives during operation Market Garden. Its a great story and I'd like your help in trying to contact Maj. G.Sheriff (if he is still alive) or his family. He had a baby daughter born just a few days before the drop at Arnhem. .My mother is now 84 years old and lives in India with my sister in a rural area on an organic farm.She is the widow of my father Brigadier. S.W. Shahane, who was also a WW II veteran.I could send you some great stories of my mother and something about her memorabilia. I do hope this gets to you.

Comments: Your information on the Arnhem portion of Operation Market-Garden is very good, but your site is very misleading because in all actuality Operation Market-Garden was much larger than just the Battle of Arnhem. Maybe you should include information about the 101st and 82nd Airborne Divisions as well as information relating to the ground assault (Operation Garden). Excellent visualization, the maps were very clear.

My wife and I write battlefield guide-books eg Somme, Ypres, Gallipoli, D-Day and did what was probably the first Market Garden Guide way back in 1984. It was very small but did cover the whole corridor. We are now beginning a much larger guide and map in the same format as our others - 270 pages, 130 colour pics etc and need some help with locating memorials over the whole route that have been put up since 1984. Thankyou for the site. It is a wonderful act of remembrance.

Comments: Terrific site, I am an Army officer studying at the US Army Command and General Staff College. I am studying the entire OMG campaign, but believe the Battle for Arnhem to be Montgomery's Center of Gravity (COG) for the entire operation. As you seem well entrenched in the annals of this operation, what are your thoughts? I imagine due to the lack of information on anything but Arnhem and the British 1st Airborne that you feel the same as I. Interesting though is that the letters you have posted all seem to articulate the COG as the Nijmagen Bridge. Do you believe this to be an immediate attempt at revisionist history by the commanders or an accurate portrayel of the objectives prior to the operation. I would be most interested in corresponding with you or any veterans who could articulate on this phenomenon. Thank you for your hard work in remembering these heros. vr David Sheridan

On your site I miss the museum of Groesbeek, it is an interesting one in the range of Market Garden rememberings.

The plane a C47 was hit and they had to jump before they reached their drop zone. Seventeen men jumped before the plane burned and broke into with the crew still on board. Wounded while in the plane ( shrapnel in both legs), wounded again on the way down (shot through left upper arm),and again on the ground (shot in the right hand loosing two fingers) he was lucky. Of the seventeen men that jumped only seven reached the ground alive that he knew of and were taken prisoner till the end of the war.

Comments: snap natuurlijk dat je niet alles op je site kan zetten maar grappige nieuwtjes kon ik niet vinden zoals dat het airborne museum na veel zeuren het bebloede shirt van hacket zo krijgen maar dat ze een neppert van hem kregen opgesruurt en pas nadat hij dood was het echte in handen kregen doordat zijn vrouw hem stuurde Of dat urquhart toen hij ingesloten zat in een huis zijn behoefte moest doen waar een van zijn ondergeschikte bij was en dat hij zich daarvoor bleef schamen. En het verhaal van het hoorntje van frost mag niet ontbreken. ten slotte wil ik zeggen dat je natuurlijk een geweldige site hebt op gezet maar dat de details die het een nog betere site had kunnen laten zijn ontbreken Bart Luters P.S hoe kan je een vriend van de airborne worden?

Comments: My father died 5 years ago this week. His name was Fred Green and he was at Arnhem. He parachuted into Ginkel Heath. He never made it to the bridge. He was lucky enough to be at hte 40th Anniversary in 1984 and he stayed at the home of Gee & Ella Kersten.
