First account in English of the supposed betrayal through the Dutch Underground of Operation MARKET GARDEN. Includes aspects of the infamous 'Englischer Spiel' by means of which Hermann Giskes played a deadly and all-too-successful radio hoax with SOE in London (Giskes' own account was published as 'London Calling North Pole'). A key study, first published in France in 1969. VERY SCARCE IN THIS CONDITION. Enser, p.212.
