Thanks for the Erlebnisbericht, Andreas. Very interesting reading. There are not many books on the five-day campaign in Holland (most articles seem to focus on the bombing of Rotterdam). However, I thought this book http://www.amazon.co.uk/Battle-Hague-19 ... 570&sr=1-9 was excellent.

Hello to all :D; a complement.........................

Grebbeberg 1940.

At 14:00 on May 12, 1940 the 207.ID attacks the Grebbe-hill with preparation fire of AR 207 and II./SS-AR. The SS-Rgt.”D.F.” breaks into the enemy lines and advances meter and meter. After five hours the hilltop is reached. The positions are moved towards Rhenen. Fighting goes on the whole night 12./13. May.............
