Andy, when you get around to doing the US participants in Market-Garden, you might want to do a "US Correspondent" that could look suspiciously like a young Walter Cronkite. He went along with the US airborne. I believe that he was the correnspondent whose helmet was knocked off and he picked up the first available helmet. As he crawled through a ditch he noticed some paratroopers following him. He didn't realize that he had picked up an officer's helmet with the vertical stripe on the back. The troopers were following him just like they had been trained to do!
