I am indebted to veterans on both sides of the Atlantic for their help and advice in writing this book. There was not much Battleground style material readily available on the Grave, Groesbeek and Nijmegen areas of the North West European Campaign but veterans contributions have helped fill this gap. Again, hard pressed staff from the regimental headquarters of the British units, whose fighting is covered by this book, have been most helpful; be they overworked regimental secretaries or highly knowledgeable volunteers. In America, veterans associations have helped me locate members who had tales to tell. Visits to the Public Record Office and airborne museums in Britain and Holland to view their archives were essential and I thank the staff unreservedly for their help.
It would be invidious to list by name all the Dutch people from the Nijmegen and Groesbeek area who have helped me in so many ways. Their help ranged from locating the more obscure sites to the provision of maps and photographs. However, their greatest contribution was their encouragement, warmth and friendliness. With many ad hoc German formations and units taking part in the fighting at Nijmegen, it has been difficult to make contact with former German soldiers. However, one particular divisional association has been of considerable help in clearing up some of Nijmegens MARKET GARDEN myths.
Finally, I will again thank my family for their extremely tolerant support of this project and encouragement. I am also most grateful for the hours they have spent reading through the draft manuscript spotting my errors and inconsistencies. I am particularly grateful to my father-in-law Lieutenant Colonel Geoff Hill (Royal Engineers) for his sound military advice. Thank you one and all.
XXX BRITISH CORPS
GUARDS ARMOURED DIVISION
NB. The Guards Armoured Division had by September 1944 departed from their official ORBAT to form, uniquely, regimental groups of armour and infantry that habitually fought together. This closeness, unusual at the time, between the two arms brought many benefits. However, their critics, with little solid evidence, also use this grouping to attribute a certain ponderousness to the Division.
