Hi,
I just came across some very interesting websites on the famous WWII operation Market Garden:
www.members.lycos.nl/marketgarden44
www.marketgarden44.com
www.rememberseptember44.com
All have very interesting accounts, photos, illustrated lists of equipment used by the Allies and the Germans, etc., a lot of inspiring stuff for collectors and diorama builders and also history buffs like myself.
On www.members.lycos.nl/marketgarden44 ( a Dutch website ), don't miss:
-the small BBC original radio broadcast recordings you can listen to, on one of them you hear live gunfire and listen to a typical British wartime broadcaster: a little historical gem to me, it does send shivers through my spine;
-the music after entering the website, more shivers... The written English is not very good though, but it's more than worth the trip.
After all this I'll be on the prowl for «A bridge too far» on DVD ( saw it at the movies as a kid ) and thinking about German halftracks, Waffen SS, «Boy» Browning's Red Devils, The Screaming Eagles, the lot, all in miniature of course.
Visions and more visions...
Regards,
Paulo
