Now available in B-format paperback, this excellently reviewed title records the German view of Operation 'Market Garden' and the Battle of Arnhem in September 1944. On the afternoon of 17th September 1944, Lieutenant Joseph Enthammer, a Wehrmacht artillery officer, gazed up to the skies, hardly believing what he saw. White 'snowflakes' appeared to be falling from the sky. 'That cannot be' he thought,' it never snows in September! They must be parachutists!' They were - he was witnessing the first wave of the British paratrooper's assault on Arnhem. Based on extensive research and containing a lot of new material this book uniquely chronicles the struggle through the eyes of the German soldier and analyses the reasons for the eventual outcome.
