Re: Veterans SS Nordwest who served in Holland

The search goes on. We've managed to obtain some rare footage of the Amersfoort camp. The research shows that the mainstream opinion of the WB3 is biased. Most historians see the policereport as genuine. We have discoverd - thanks to Haen - that the report is incomplete and pictures the WB3 as outla...

Re: Veterans SS Nordwest who served in Holland

Hi Haen, I knew that it was a long shot but worth trying. I figured out your name by the defending-website and your initials. The webmaster told me that nobody else is alive. It seems that the Ss WB 3 part of the story has to be told by a historian. But they also are not fully informed. Still most o...

Re: Veterans SS Nordwest who served in Holland

I'm afraid the search ends. It appears that Haen2 is the only living vet. The story of the Wachbattalion has to be told by a sort of voice over. It's better than no story at all. Thanks to Haen2 for clearing up some of the details !

Re: Veterans SS Nordwest who served in Holland

Yes, this is a second attempt to find a veteran. The information from Haen2 is alteady used to create a better picture of the German response. It would be great to be able to interview a member of the German or Dutch SS troops who fought the battle on Ginkel Heath near Ede. So far we have interviews...

Veterans SS Nordwest who served in Holland

We are in the proces of making a documentaryfilm about the Market-Garden operation 1944. We want to show all sides in this battle. So far it is really hard to find German or Dutch vets who took part in the battle of Arnhem. More specific we are trying to find veterans who fought in the SS Wachbattal...

Re: Documentary Market-Garden

Further research has shown, that the Wachbattailon is the SS Wachbattaillon Nordwest under the command of Helle. More specific, there is new evidence that Camp Amersfoort is part of a much larger training facility for SS troops. And some errors occur in the first post: the Kings Own Scottish Bordere...

It was defended bij the Kong's Own Scottish Borderers. We would like to interview members of the the Dutch Wachtbattal...
