Hi guy’s,
my brain is smoking like H…… if there’s anything left.
I think we agree that it wasn’t a StugIII from 280.
So found this text on (Waffen-SS. no)
On September 10, the order went out that the remnants of the Hohenstaufen Division, estimated at only 2,500 men or 20% of its original strength, were to be transferred to Germany for a complete refitting, handing over their weapons (including two batteries of field howitzers), vehicles and equipment to the sister division Frundsberg, which would stay in Arnhem and regroup.
The men were on the point of leaving for the Reich by rail on September 17 when troops of the British 1st Airborne landed in the outskirts of Arnhem and near Nijmegen.
Under Model's orders, SS Battle Group (Kampfgruppe) "Harzer" was formed from the remnants of the Hohenstaufen Division. On the eve of the battle, Brittrich gave the following orders:
1. Division to reconnaissance in the direction of Arnhem and Nijmegen
2. Division to go into action at once, taking the Arnhem Bridge and destroying the enemy forces which have landed to the west of Arnhem at Oosterbeek.
This could mean that it is possible that 1 of the StugIII of 10th SS division Frundsberg was on that side of the Bridge because that is where the train station is.
