Eddie Jeepster777 RE: quiz.... which battlefield is this... - Huib Versloot - 09-19-2006 nope... Overloon would be this one... I'm on a training for my job for 2 days.... I'm sure the right answer is here when I get back RE: quiz.... which battlefield is this... - Pip Roberts - 09-19-2006 Well I reckoned it would have to be Holland Huib and took a punt on Arnhem When I enlaarged the Google Coordinates form the thumbnail I got a spot about 25 Km west of Arnhem near Rhenen aand while the Red Devils may have been dropped that far away I don't know of a battle there so am about to search your great scenario contributions RE: quiz.... which battlefield is this... - Bioman - 09-19-2006 It is part of the Grebbe Line just east of the town of Rhenen which was fought over in May of 1940. I don't know the exact name of the battle fought therebut I believe that the West Front battle "Grebbe Line 1940" was fought there. Nick Bioman RE: quiz.... which battlefield is this... - Bioman - 09-19-2006 After further review my guess is "The Battle of the Outposts" which is one of your scenarios. RE: quiz.... which battlefield is this... - Huib Versloot - 09-20-2006 Pip, Nick, You are both correct it is the Grebbeberg near Rhenen. Called "Teufelsberg" by the Germans after the fighting of may 1940. It was the bloodiest battle of the may 1940 campaign in Holland. The scns indeed are "Battle of the Outposts" and also "a Dutch Verdun" The map of how it was back then: http://www.grebbeberg.nl/bibliotheek/gfx/kaart_vanloon.jpg a bit of history: http://www.grebbeberg.nl/grebbeberg/uk_summary.html some photos: http://www.grebbeberg.nl/bibliotheek/index7_121_1.html Thanks to all for the answers. Soon I'll be posting overviews of other battlefields...
