John Kettler Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 (edited) Found this on bmashina.tumblr.com and thought I'd share an Arnhem photo new to me. Supposedly, it's from 1945. Am no Arnhem expert, but this 2014 piece showed up near the top of the Google page when I went to check the dates of the Battle of Arnhem. It has some seriously attention-getting material in it, with angles I'd never heard of before. That said, because it puts certain WW II events into a controversial post-WW II context, and covers ground denied not just me but generally, I've decided the title and author are as far as I care to go. The author, Tony Gosling, is British, and the story ran on RT's site. He got to interview a fair number of principals in the Arnhem story and seems to have a very good command of the bios of key commanders and witnesses. A betrayal too far: Only brutal honesty will do at Arnhem’s 70th anniversary Regards, John Kettler Edited June 2, 2017 by John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George MC Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Gosling is a well known conspiracy theorist - I'd be reading that article with a very large heap of salt! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Better off not reading unreliable sources - don't put crappy information in to your head in the first place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 There are some interesting (& verifiable) facts in that article, but the conclusions drawn suggest the author has a distinct political agenda. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warts 'n' all Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Despite being born in Kent, and living in Bromley for nigh on 17 years. I wouldn't give Gosling the time of day. Never trust a man who rips off the image of Che, and turns it into an image of Christ. It shows a distinct lack of imagination, and a pandering to populism. His personality and politics aside, lets look at some facts. Jorrocks never ordered an "18-hour break". Also, it was the Vandeleur cousins who were nervous about making a night attack due to the proximity of German Panzer Jaeger infantry armed with both Fausts and Schrecks, who they described in their reports as "Bazooka Boys". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
