Re: battle for arnhem....
Jock moved into the wood as flank guard whilst, Ted, Bill and the other paras in their platoon pushed on with the patrol.
It was vital that they discovered any gaps in the German lines through which they could move on to the bridge................

Re: battle for arnhem....
As they moved on through the edge of the wood, they heard a jeep coming quickly along the road, and after satisfying themselves that it was British, they showed themselves.
The recon jeep was armed to the teeth with Vickers K and Bren machine guns. As it went past the crew shouted to them to watch out for panzer grenadiers and armour ahead, before racing off back to HQ to report.

Re: battle for arnhem....
Meanwhile, a mile or so away, a crew were preparing their panther ausf A for battle again.
They were pretty fed up with the panzer grenadiers who just generally sat around on the tank, not exactly helping.
However, they did not make a fuss as they had all fought together recently in Normandy and the long retreat through Belgium, so were all keen to strike back as soon as they could............the grenadiers would need a rest and the tankers would rely on them to keep the paras, with their PIATs and gammon bombs off them.
