EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the tumultuous backdrop of World War II, the Battle of Arnhem in September 1944 stands out as one of the most daring and tragic operations in military history. This evocative double page spread, featuring seven powerful photographs, captures the essence of the struggle that unfolded in the Netherlands that fateful year. At the helm of the British airborne forces was Major-General Urquhart, a man of unwavering determination and courage. Two intrepid BBC war correspondents, Stanley Maxted and Guy Byam, documented the events as they unfolded, bringing the story of the Battle of Arnhem to the world. The photographs bear witness to the bravery and resilience of the British troops as they advanced into enemy territory. Amidst the ruins of Oosterbeek, a patrol of paratroopers searches a house for enemy forces, their faces etched with a mix of determination and apprehension. Elsewhere, an airborne officer, his trousers replaced by a blanket, stands defiantly in Nijmegen. The images also pay tribute to the unsung heroes of the campaign, such as Sergeant Bennet of Darlington, who swam across the river on his way back to Allied lines. The courage and tenacity of these men, who fought against the odds, continue to inspire us today. Three men, Sergeant D M Smith, Sergeant G Walker, and Sergeant C M Lewis, risked their lives to capture the events of the Arnhem campaign on film and through still photography. Their images provide a poignant and enduring record of a pivotal moment in World War II history. Date: 1944.
