5.0 out of 5 stars The German Viewpoint, 15 Aug 2002
By J. Kemp "James Kemp" (Merstham, Surrey, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is probably the best account of the German side of Operation Market Garden in English. The author, a British Parachute regiment officer, used German sources while he was based in Germany to find out what happened from the other side of the hill. It is a fascinating account and dispels some of the myths about the battle, especially the controversy over whether there were really two full panzer divisions in the area when the Operation took place. He uses German ration returns and maintenance reports to show what was there for definite and uses his military knowledge to fill in the few gaps with reasonable guesses. In all he paints a different picture to the popular histories.

If you are seriously interested in Market Garden then you must buy this book, it is an invaluable resource.

3.0 out of 5 stars Paperback edition, 23 Jun 2008
By kamehouse (London UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: It Never Snows in September: The German View of Market-Garden and the Battle of Arnhem September 1944: (Paperback)
I bought this book 18 months ago and was really pleased of the content either written(I use it for reference with my WW2 forums) or the numerous pictures and maps/recon pictures by allied planes.These documents really helped the reader to go through this fantastic book.
While in a library yesterday,I've noticed Mr Kershaw's book was now available in paperback edition.I have nothing against paperback.Same content ,cheaper price so why not?
Well unfortunately while I was flicking through I've noticed most of the pictures and maps are missing.
It's a shame really and I would recommend the hardback edition for this reason only.
My 3 stars rating is not for the content but for the laziness of the publisher.

5.0 out of 5 stars Blows away the Arnhem myths, 8 Mar 2004
By Withnail67 (UK) - See all my reviews
  
An absolute must for informing yourself about this famous battle. Kershaw was a British Army officer stationed in West Germany, charged with tactically assessing the German ability to reform and resist an overwhelming allied airborne attack on the strategically vital Rhine bridges.

The lessons for such a battle in 1980s NATO planning are obvious, and Kershaw's is a spellbinding account which is detailed but never dry. The German ability to improvise units and fight with great determination so very quickly gave the lightly armed airborne units a sever mauling.

Also chilling is the description of the Dutch SS units who fought hard as their cause seemed at its very nadir...

Outstanding military history which seems to confirm Max Hasting's findings in 'Overlord' about some allied unit's hesitance and lack of drive: who wants to be the last 'Citizen Soldier' to die to liberate Europe?
