I got alot of good stuff for me to start at less working on my arnhem operation for CM game. Sorry to burst your bubble mr.barkmann but that google earth map is way off for how Arnhem looked in 44... especially around the bridge area where Frost was set-up. Some buildings are missing in some areas, and open areas in 44 now have buildings on them.... Especially those highway bendings near the bridge-not there in 44. I'll look through clanceys links and see if it has the maps you need... also keep in mind if you are refighting the actual brifdgehead battle you'll only need the downtown area of Arnhem since thats where most of the Brits set up their perimeter. follow-up edit; Here are some good photos;- I actually have a good map of the fight area from a wargame; if you want I'll scan the section you want [bridgehead] and mail to you if the references here are too vague. Shows the bridgehead [north of the Rhine] -note on google earth alot of the buildings are gone http://www.nntk.net/galleries/gallery_arnh...s/arnhem24.html http://www.nntk.net/galleries/gallery_arnh...s/arnhem08.html To get a good idea of the bridgehead rent the movie 'A Bridge Too Far' made in 1977 -alot of buildings were still around for the movie. This one shows Arnhem center looking towards the south of the bridge [right hand side of pic]. http://www.nntk.net/galleries/gallery_arnh...s/arnhem23.html Arnhem bridge after Grubner's recce unit got destroyed trying to cross it. http://www.nntk.net/galleries/gallery_arnh...s/arnhem33.html General Map showing dropzone areas/battle areas http://www.nntk.net/arnhem_1944/arnhem_map.html Clancey already got this very excellent site; [Clancey an interested ww2 buff methinx  ]http://www.marketgarden.com/2010/UK/ http://www.marketgarden.com start from here for the meat of what you seek  http://www.marketgarden.com/2010/UK/frames.html this map left to right is from the west approaching the bridge This post has been edited by Hellfighter: 10/12/07 3:34pm --------------------   |
