Analysed primary sources of operation Market Garden for years, analysed. Wrote two books as a result. Publish daily #OTDs for #WW2. I was interviewed by James Holland and Al Murray in the the oldest pub in Nijmegen. Check it out! And I'm a bespoke battlefield guide. 😉 www.youtube.com/watch?v=ez4q...
