All ranks now exhausted - telegram is found - Battle of Arnhem
#2

Interesting "find". I can't imagine being in that situation. Normally, even if there was a setback, the Allied forces were always moving forward. In this case, you had thousands of paratroopers just stuck in a rapidly deteriorating situation that eventually became hopeless. Sort of an airborne Gallipoli.
