I knew a former SS 500 Parachute Bn NCO and Officer who was actually at Arnhem with the 9th SS PzrDiv Hohenstaufen when Market Garden took place. I took him to the movie when it came to Flint Kaserne at Bad Tolz. I've also gone to Arnhem during the Market Garden celebrations and experienced the Dutch reenactors and pro-US feelings. If y'all ever get the opportunity, I suggest you take it - they do remember.
