Lieutenant-General Frederick Arthur Montague Browning

Here's a very good website which has all the major players for Arnhem Sept 1944.

http://http://www.pegasusarchive.org...k_browning.htm

This page is devoted to Lieutenant-General Frederick Arthur Montague Browning but the links will take you to some of the other main Allied players in this major part to the war.

Cheers
Mike (Sniper)

(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)

Just one too many "http//" in the link.

The site is excellent though. The owner has put in a lot of work, and I've found the information on the RAF squadrons very useful. Cheers Sniper
