Hi,

This is really GREAT idea. Maybe someone will decide to reproduce John Frost bridge with Brithish paratroopers? Or maybe Polish soldiers trying to help their British comrades in arms. Or US soldiers with tanks of British XXX corps.
For sure many modellers will be interested in this campaign. Next year there will be 60th aniversary of this battle.
When I was in Arnhem during 50th aniversary whole city was celebrating this battle. You could see many posters, billboards and flags with a slogan "A bridge to a future". In stores' windows you could see a special exhibitions of things raleating to this battle. So maybe we will contact guys from the Netherland and we will send them photos of our models, figures and dioramas relating to this battle? They will be able to build a special exhibition using them.
Not only people from Arnhem, but especially veterans of this battle will be happy to see them. They will know that people all around the world remember about them.

Regards,

Michal

The way I understood it, the idea is to have this campaign start somewhere next year, and have it finish by the time Market Garden started.

If I can find time and finances, I certainly am interested in joining it...
