All that occurred with a quarter million troops in WW2, and elsewhere for that matter, is not going to be found in orders or have a document trail.

And all that you say about museums, second hand stories from vets and wishful thinking is mostly true.

But this is Peter Simundson we're talking about. If you knew him, or had dealt with him, you'll know his knowledge and experience will turn out to be better informed than you can otherwise prove with documents. Not one to exaggerate or make things up is Peter. Quite the opposite. He's one to listen to it all and sort out the likely from the crap.

Coffee table books. Now you take that back!!
