Received, "once a Patricia" today, good bit about the area Hope you enjoy it. One of my all time favourites. He didnt think much of being in a Dutch house whilst being shelled, he much preferred the strongly built Italian casa. Hope you enjoy the book. Are you planning on going to that area around Wilp? If so can we see some photos, please.
Thanks Owen, it will be used in my new booklet about Panzer Kompanie 224, who fought at Arnhem, and from their moved all over the place, I have done a Dutch version in 1997 and now working on a update english version, hopefully eardy in february
