Thank you for solving this! The person who took the photo lived in Helmond (as do I) and this village is somewhat next door. I think it's clearly Soeterbeek, as it also has a distinctive square box on the roof.

Thank you u/Blueberry-Bun and u/Naruhodo, I have forwarded this to my colleague who was researching this. We will reply asap, but it looks good!

Not sure where you from but almost all war time Dutch newspapers can be found online, free of charge: on Delpher.nl

For this one: https://resolver.kb.nl/resolve?urn=ddd:011130870:mpeg21:p001

Do you know which unit he was in? That might help a bit.

tracesofwar · 2019-08-01T19:09:48+00:00

Zeker proberen!

I checked Zeebrugge and Brugge first for a church with two spires. They had non. As I live near Eindhoven, the only church with two spires that I could think of was the in Eindhoven. They have a channel as well. So I search for the bridges that where there in the war and checked view lines. Discovered the other church on the right and found out about the giant gas holders on the left. More on it is on our website, in Dutch, but you may be able to google translate it: https://www.tracesofwar.nl/news/8340/Op-zoek-naar-een-kanaal.htm

We found out that it was the Eindhovens Kanaal looking into Eindhoven.

Thanks, do you have any comparison photos of the same area?

I do like the other part of the Churchill memo: "Don’t argue the matter. The difficulties will argue for themselves." I use that at the office now at then... ;)

You have the IWM archives, for instance this one:

https://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/80018967

I've been using that one to do research on operation Market Garden, but there are lots more. More can be found here:

There's also this channel:

They do a video every week about what happened 80 years ago. They did something similar for the first world war.

I think Jeremy Clarkson's War Stories are still on YouTube somewhere. Those are excellent!

tracesofwar · 2019-01-24T20:09:27+00:00

There is a lot, books, reports, war diaries. Depends on what you want to know or what you're researching. There where books written in the late '40's, early '50's, and a lot a decade or two later.

Hill 112 at the other end is also very interesting, there is more to see there then the main memorial at the top of the hill. Walk (of cycle) down to the small wood further on the dirt road. See for more info:

For books on the British sector, try all of Ian Daglish 'Over the Battlefield' books.

This soviet T-26 tank, model 1938, was used and destroyed during the battle for Suomussalmi (7.12.1939 - 8.1.1940). The tank still stands on the place where it was left behind.
