When I read this post this morning I already planned to post the topic where JrNelson shows a list of German Units around Arnhem. I`m a bit later then planned as it accidentaly slipped my mind.
The 4th post of this thread shows about everything about the german units in and around Arnhem.

JI. If you what to learn more, see if you can find a book called "It never Snows in September' bu Robert J. Kershaw. This gives some history of the various battlegroups that were formed for this battle/campaign and tells their history. It's a very good book on the German side of things, with some very nice photos as well.

Take care, sgirty
