von der heydte,
Opération Amherst concerne une région dans le Nord des Pays Bas (DRENTHE), très loin d'Arnehm et Oosterbeck...
Operation Amherst was a Free French SAS attack designed to capture intact Dutch canals, bridges and airfields.
The operation began with the paradrop of seven hundred Special Air Service troopers of 3 and 4 SAS (French) on the night of the 7 April 1945. The teams spread out to capture and protect key facilities from the Germans. Advancing Canadian troops of the 8th Reconnaissance Regiment quickly relieved the isolated French SAS.
The majority of the French paratroopers were dropped over the North-western part of the province of Drenthe.
