the first yes, the second not so much. the first set a paras,while the second are British regulars. only the paras made it into Arnhem itself. if you wanted to do men from British XXX Corps fighting towards Arnhem then the regulars would work well.

you can use the second set Calvin, but you will have to change the helmets. The battle dress worn by the para's was the standard British Battle Dress, the distinctive Dennison camouflage smock was not worn all the time. There are plenty of photos from Arnhem, of para's not wearing their Dennison smock.
