Re: PR photo that almost stopped operation Market-Garden
Adriano,
The book ”a bridge to far” is an excellent book, but remember that it was written over thirty years ago. At present “Arnhem 1944”by Martin Middlebrook is the standard. And if you want to focus on the German side “It never snows in September” By Robert Kershaw. These authors had a lot more sources at their disposal.
Middlebrook has no additional info on Major Urquhard and his photo’s. However I seem to remember reading somewhere else that it is doubted now that these photographs ever existed.
I’ve been going through some books to find the facts, but could not. I have about a meter and a half of books so I gave up eventually.
Perhaps some of the other members know??
“a bridge to far” is my worst looking book! It was my first one about Market Garden and it has been read many times.
Hope this is of some help
Dennis
