    The Battle for Ginkel Heath near Ede (Paperback)
    The Battle for Ginkel Heath near Ede (Paperback)
    The heroic and valiant actions by the British and Polish airborne troops at the Arnhem road bridge and in the Oosterbeck perimeter, which latter acted as bridgehead round the headquarters of the 1st British Airborne Division at Hotel Hartenstein, are well known. Less well known is what happened during the first days of Operation Market Garden at Ginkel Heath, east of Ede, where nearly two thousand British parachutists landed on 18 September 1944. To keep the memory of these momentous events on the heath alive, it is commemorated each year by the landing of a few WW II veterans and of paratroopers of the present British army. However, many of the spectators are not familiar with the specific events that took place in that part of the Veluwe region during those September days. The landing of the 4th Parachute Brigade was only part of all military activities on and around Ginkel Heath and took only nine minutes. The fact that the arrival of the brigade was preceded by almost twenty-four

    Behind Enemy Lines.The war memoirs of Jedburgh Officer John Olmsted. (Paperback)
    In 'Behind Enemy Lines', American OSS agent John Olmsted tells the fascinating story of his experiences as a member of Jedburgh Team 'Dudley', which dropped into occupied east Netherlands on 11/12 September 1944. Together with his two comrades, Dutch officer Henk Brinkgreve and Irish radio operator John 'Bunny' Austin, Olmsted's mission was to help organize the armed resistance in Overijssel in support of the Allied advance during Operation Market Ga rden, which started 6 days later. Following the Allied defeat at Arnhem, Olmsted and his team were trapped behind enemy lines. John Olmsted was one of the few Allied soldiers who managed to escape with Operation Pegasus 2 across the Rhine to liberated territory after the Battle of Arnhem. He vividly wrote about his experiences in Overijssel and Gelderland on the boat trip back to the USA shortly after the end of the war. Olmsted's first person account allows us to see one of the most shocking episodes in Dutch history through the eyes of a

    Oosterbeek - Arnhem 1944 Toen & Nu (Hardback)
    Oosterbeek - Arnhem 1944 Toen & Nu (Hardback)
    OOSTERBEEK - ARNHEM 1944 Toen & Nu toont en vertelt het verhaal van het meest gewaagde deel van operatie Market-Garden: de landing van de Britse 1st Airborne Division ten westen van Arnhem om de bruggen over de Rijn te veroveren. De operatie verliep niet volgens plan en de Britten moesten al snel in de verdediging. Nadat eerst het gebied rond de Arnhemse verkeersbrug weer geheel in Duitse handen was geraakt, volgde een zes dagen durende belegering van het restant van de luchtlandingstroepen in een klein gebied in Oosterbeek. Deze uitgave brengt de strijd met originele foto's uit de oorlog in beeld, in combinatie met opnames die de huidige situatie tonen. Daardoor kan men zich niet alleen beter in de historische gebeurtenissen verplaatsen, maar biedt dit boek ook een extra dimensie bij een bezoek aan het voormalige strijdterrein.

    Generaal van Arnhem (Paperback)
    Generaal van Arnhem (Paperback)
    Robert Urquhart landde als bevelhebber van de Britse parachutisten bij de brug over de Rijn in Arnhem aan het begin van de slag om Arnhem. Voor zijn moed en leiderschap gedurende deze slag werd hij onder meer beloond met de Nederlandse Orde van de Bronzen Leeuw. Dit is zijn persoonlijke verslag van de gebeurtenissen. 17 september 1944. Drie geallieerde luchtmacht divisies werden in Nederland gedropt om de strategische bruggen over de Rijn bij Arnhem in handen te krijgen. Maar het Duitse verzet was heviger dan verwacht en afgesneden van de wereld moesten de soldaten negen dagen lang standhouden tegen een enorme overmacht aan Duits geweld, zonder ammunitie, zonder hulp. Van de 10.000 manschappen kwamen er slechts 2300 terug. Generaal van Arnhem is het verhaal van deze dappere mannen die een brug te ver gingen, verteld vanuit het standpunt van de commandant zelf - maar ook van de Nederlandse burgers, die van onschatbare waarde bleken tijdens een van de bloedigste slagen van de Tweede

    Productomschrijving

    Major-General Urquhart commanded the 1st British Airborne Division in Operation Market Garden, the greatest airborne assault of World War II, the struggle to capture Arnhem and win control of the bridge across the lower Rhine. The story of the 1st Airborne Division at Arnhem involved not only an Airborne Corps of three Divisions but also the bulk of the British 2nd Army in Europe. Gen. Urquhart has told the story of those fateful nine days clearly, frankly and, despite the terrible circumstances, not without humor. It ranks as an important work, describing an operation which opened with such high hopes and left its name forever as a feat of the highest endurance and valor.
