Description
The German View of Market-Garden and the Battle of Arnhem, September 1944 by Robert J. Kershaw On 17 September 1944, a surprise attack on the Reich caught the German forces off guard. Lieutenant Joseph Enthammer, a Wehrmacht artillery officer, witnessed the first wave of the British parachute assault on Arnhem, with white 'snowflakes' appearing in the clear skies. This unusual sight was a harbinger of the events that would unfold. This book chronicles the period of the war through the eyes of the ordinary German soldier, offering a unique perspective on the Battle of Arnhem and Operation Market-Garden. A major work of military history, it provides a fresh analysis of the reasons behind the eventual outcome of the operation. A new paperback edition of this groundbreaking study is now available, offering a renewed opportunity to explore one of the most controversial operations of World War II.
