What was such a glider and how big was it? What types of gliders were used in September 1944? How were these built in England? How many mansions and equipment could there be? How was it controlled? How did the different parts work? What happened to the gliders after landing? Also see http://www.wolfheze.nl/_Glider/glidermain.htm More about the Glider Collection Wolfheze on ARS Website. Then a walk over the landing grounds
led by a guide on the areas where the gliders landed and I heard
which units were transported. The guide had maps and pictures. Thus,
at various locations in the former landing areas, we could see how
it should have been. |
