RRP: PS79.9901001010Coming: February 202501001010Einsatz Arnheim delves into the intense clash between German forces and their British and Polish adversaries in and around Arnhem in September 1944. The narrative meticulously examines the role of German armour in the conflict, drawing from a diverse array of sources, including official German and Allied records and first-hand accounts from soldiers and civilians.01001010A pivotal discovery was the War Diary of the 9.SS-Panzer-Division, which sheds new light on the battle around Oosterbeek and Arnhem. The War Diary from British Headquarters Royal Artillery provides valuable insights, especially on the last days of the battle. Through rigorous analysis of data, supplemented by photographic and film evidence, a comprehensive narrative of the Battle of Arnhem emerges, revealing intriguing details previously overlooked.01001010Contrary to previous perceptions, lesser-known German commanders like Bartholomai, Budecker, and Balzer emerged as key figures in the fighting instead of the more renowned leaders such as Brinkmann and Von Allworden. The study also highlights the critical timing of Operation Market Garden; had it commenced just one day later, the odds of success for the Allies would have significantly improved, as most of Kampfgruppe 9.SS-Panzer-Division would have withdrawn to Germany.01001010Professional illustrations painted by Steve Noon give the reader an idea of what certain critical situations look like in colour. The story is visually understood with the help of maps, diagrams and illustrations. This book has used exceptional photography. It is sometimes better quality but is not always known.
