What I like is the scope to lash out and present such a dramatic scene. Excellent. Robin.

There were about 158 German AFV's in the Arnhem sector; Stugs, Mark III's, IV's, jagpanthers, Tiger I's, Tiger II's, Panthers, flakpanzers, halftracks, armored cars, etc, etc.

The Germans in the area were the 9th and10th SS, Panzer Ersatz Regiment Bielefeld, Schwere Panzer Kompanie Hummel, Schwere Panzer 506, Strumgeschutz Brigade 280 and Panzer Companie 244.

Imagine airborne troops going up against that.

My layout depicts the types of AFV's Germans in the Oosterbeek area would have thrown at the British airborne, also mostly Heer Infantry and not SS troops, again the 9th and 10th SS were in Arnhem, not Oosterbeek.

The buildings in this layout are the Oosterbeek gas works and Kate Der Horsts house.

Hello Warrior,
An extremely well researched, and accurately presented diorama. I'm certain that even COL Waddy would be duly impressed. As is still signaled in both the US and Royal Navies; "BZ" (Bravo Zulu), Well Done! Should be in the Hartenstein Museum. Thank you for sharing.
