Thanks very much Philip, I appreciate your help.

 

Hi Paul,

Just returned from Amsterdam to get Retake Arnhem Bridge other great Robert Sigmond book.. But this time by a good Friend of mine Scott Revell who I had the pleasure of meeting, we had some interesting views to see when talking around Amsterdam

Cheers
Tom

 

Anyone got this and does the 60 pages do it justice having just contacted the author of this book for a signed copy of Storm Boat Kings, I wish this post had appeared earlier if my fellow Arnhem 'nuts' rate it.This was supposed to be quoting paul '2's Basic Function post in post 470.

 

John already has a need book out soon about 4th Para RE

 

John already has a need book out soon about 4th Para RE

Thats the same book as what WTID45 is talking about Philip, it's called "Basic Function: The 4th Parachute Sqn RE at Arnhem".

 

This one arrived today. It examines how the city of Arnhem has changed since it was virtually destroyed in 1944 and 1945. It contains numerous photos which show the destruction caused during the war and how the city was rebuilt and remodelled in the years afterwards and yes, it IS in Dutch only :p.
All the best................

So whats it called then

 

So whats it called then

Well obviously Jason it's called "De Verdwenen Stad".

 

its a whole serie there is also one about St Elisabeth Hospital

 

And one about all the military buildings in and around Arnhem "Van bolwerk tot bunker".

 

For WTID:

OK, ok, I'll translate: The disappeared (or lost) city: Arnhem before the destruction of 1944/1945.
Regards, Paul

 

The one on St Elisabeths hospital contains only 2 small pages on the battle, not really worth it (from a battle of arnhem perspective).

Daan, do you know if the one on bunkers has a battle of arnhem perspective? I think not, when I read the description.
Thanks, Paul

Paul, it's more an historical book with overview on the events that happened. Nothing in depth about the Battle itself.

 

Thanks, Daan, I thought so!
