Opis

'The Dutch in Wartime, Survivors Remember' is a series of books containing the wartime memories of Dutch immigrants to Canada and the USA, who lived through the occupation of the Netherlands in World War II. Book 7, 'Caught in the crossfire', covers the experiences of civilians living in the area where Allied paratroopers landed during Operation Market Garden. The towns and villages in which they live have become the battlefield. They are bombed, shelled and shot at, many lose their homes and possessions. Some lose their lives. But despite the danger and the destruction, after more than four years of oppression, they welcome their liberators and help them where they can.
