I don't know that town, will look it up, although I know where Gelderland is.

Fascinating, have been close, but not there that I remember. The town I lived in was the same, literally had a street shared by the Netherlands and Germany (like his town)...

We had CEC sites (combat equipment sites) 'up north' by Coevorden, and several along the border in Germany, so I traveled all over.

Overloon is where the bloodiest tank battle ever on Holland soil took place. Month after Market Garden. So about 45 minutes from Arnhem We won that one but the 7th Armor got pretty beat up.
