    Hi Ramiles - I served at JFC HQ Brunssum from 2004 - 2008 and remember Schinnen well. Although I didn't find the time to study the battles of 1944, many thanks for your information!

    Best

    Brothers in Arms - Chapter on Schinnen...

    "It took a certain type of courage to serve in a tank in World War Two. Encased in steel, surrounded by highly explosive shells, a big and slow-moving target, every crew member was utterly vulnerable to enemy attack from all sides. Living - and dying - in a tank was a brutal way to fight a war. Al Murray reads a chapter of James Holland’s new book Brothers in Arms."
