Gerard - In 2016 there also appeared a Dutch book on the Liberation of Northern-Limburg, also covering the Peel area, the battle for Overloon/Venraij but also the German counterattack in the Asten-Meijel area in the last week of Oct 1944: "Waar blijven de bevrijders!, Sept - Okt 1944, frontperiode noord- en midden Limburg", written by Hugo Levels and Eric Munnicks. There are still copies for sale over here: http://www.roermondinoorlog.nl/waar-blijven-de-bevrijders/. The above title is the first of a trilogy, planned by the authors. They are currently working on the second volume, which covers the period of Nov - Dec 44, and will come out next year. I can get you in contact with one of the authors, he lives close to your area. I think he might be interested in your stories.
