Battle of Arnhem - update

I forgot to include this interesting item about the Battle of Arnhem.  Last Monday, September 17th the body of a WWII British parachutist was discovered on the Ginkel Heath.  The same place we went to watch the commerative parachute jumps.

The Dutch have a special unit that recovers and tries to identify WWII remains.  They recover 30-35 bodies a year.  I would imagine most European countries have similar units.
