additional screenshot field
The Arnhem landings are regarded as a great feat of arms, courage and tenacityas demonstrated by British paratroopers in a desperate last-stand situation. As this book describes, the paratroopers who landed in the Arnhem area on 17 September 1944 had no idea that two SS Panzer Divisions, the 9th and 10th, were recuperating and concealed in woods. A bloody battle followed. Here, with text and photographs, some rare and unpublished, the reader will learn about the background of the Hohenstaufen and Frundsberg divisions, and that despite the war being only months from its end, the SS soldier was far from beaten and as determined as ever to hold on to as much of Europe as possible. This book captures the drama of that epic battle, showing how both sides fought desperately for a bridge over the Rhine. ● Pages: 114 ● Size: 89.3 MB
