Arnhem

German troops at Arnhem, where ad hoc battle groups checked the British Airborne soldiers for a time, just long enough for heavier german units to reach the scene. (scanned by HOS Bandit)

It’s from the Arnhem area, you can find the photo in C. Ryan’s book “A bridge too far”.

Great photo, but I don’t think it was taken during the Battle of Arnhem. Note that the troops are wearing winter parkas, I don’t think it was that cold in mid September, But I may be wrong.

I hope the guy aiming his rifle made sure the 3 in front of him were in the clear.
