I dread to think what it would have been like with Panzer units holding the high ground looking down on the landing fields.
Sorry to back track a bit lads the Seargent I referred to was a time serving WW1 vet and he had a son in the paras when my old man went home on leave one time he met him in a pub and the old boy was in a terrible state it turned out his boy had been killed at Arnhem. He took the news really badl. He never did get over it and died a couple of years later. | You are more then likely correct on your assessement with Rommel. I dont think he would have stopped it but he would have done the best he could with what he had (which he did anyhow) and th blood bath would have been even more horrific.
