This section of the website is dedicated to the telling of the stories of those who fought at Arnhem. My aim is to cram in as many stories, testimonies, and pictures of these men as possible. Not just the famous key figures, nor even just Allied soldiers, but anyone and everyone, Dutch civilians and German soldiers included. If you are able to supply any information of this kind please do let me know - pegasusarchive@googlemail.com
The information given is based solely on what I have read and gathered from a variety of sources, and as such there is much that I do not know. I would heartily welcome any help that could be offered in making these stories as complete as possible. If you know of any details about a person that are not mentioned here, or if you know that the details are incorrect, then please write to me and let me know. For more details, see the Wanted section.
