Tankluver:

Perform a search on the web for the Battle of Arnhem and you will find tons of information. As well you could pick up a copy of Osprey Publishing ARNHEM and it will be a good reference tool for this and future projects.

Cheers;

Gregory

Yes,  elements of General Students First Parachute Army were in the line opposite XXX Corps and fought against them from the beginning of the operation. But as was posted here, that information is readily available from many sources, online and in print.

Another good Arnhem source in print is Robert Kershaw's, "It Never Snows in September." It's an insightful account of Market-Garden from the German point of view.

I'm currently building a dio using the famous picture of the German ambush at the 6Km marker stone outside of Arnhem as the setting.
