About the aftermath of the Battle for Arnhem, when Dutch underground helped a number of captured airborne troops to escape across the Rhine in an operation called Pegasus I . This was a programe on Dutch TV. Eric Hall was a good family friend, and I am in contact with his son, Tony, and will pass on any comments. Thanks for watching. Denis H. A brief description of the programe :- The clip starts with (glider pilot) Pat Mahoney’s intro, walking across Ginkel Heath and his first lines. At 1:13 you see a 1944 picture Eric Hall and hear his voice, followed by him talking to the camera. He is followed by Major Tony Hibbert and his initial statement. Then the Dutch commentary cuts in. The reason for the clip is the release of a book (“Black Autumn”) about the Dutch underground’s actions after the battle of Arnhem (shot from the Rhine Pavillion at Onderlangs, Arnhem). You see a speech by a person called Paul Vroemen, the author. The book is about two youngsters, Bert and Hans Kuik (picture) who “kidnapped” several British paratroopers from the local hospital (St Elisabeth’s Gasthuis) where they were treated for wounds, and handed them for further hiding to Dutch resistance workers. The hospital changed hands twice and remained under German control from 19-Sep-1944 (after the main force was defeated and retreated to Oosterbeek). Paul Vroemen was a school mate of the two brothers, who, after the war, dug into the past to find out what happened to them. Pat Mahoney and Eric Hall (3:36) then relate of their escape experiences. Eric Hall was guided to the house of Mrs. Van Zweden, who , matter-of-fact like, agreed to shelter the escapees. However, Hans en Bert Kuik, who had escorted many soldiers, including Eric Hall, were rounded up by the Germans later when the hospital was evacuated. Before being questioned, they tried to escape but were caught by (Dutch) SS men and executed on the spot. That story is told by Wop Kuik, I assume their brother. Next (5:38) is the story of Pat Mahoney, who is captured, treated in the St Elisabeth’s Gasthuis, and then moved to The Loo Palace in Apeldoorn (30 miles north of Arnhem), from where he escaped – followed by his own story in English (5:59). There were about 250 paratroopers in hiding in the area north and west of Arnhem – almost all with the help of local Dutch population. Then follows the story of Eric Hall, who ended up in the farm of the Van Dronkelaars family (6:42). You hear the voice of the son of the family (in Dutch): “He came on a flat cart, along with six English boys. He was taken here by the Resistance. They were the first group of British soldiers to be taken to this farm for hiding from the Germans. They took them here, and my father said – you must leave the cart here, lest they’d notice and there was fear for betrayal (focus on windows of farm). In this place thirteen British soldiers were hiding, directly putting the family’s lives at risk, for the Germans were actively searching the area for escapees. At some point the house was searched by the (Dutch) police. The family had had a fifteen minute warning.” Follows a narrative by Eric Hall on house searches by Germans and what they did to avoid them by running into the nearby woods. Next is the story of the escape operation (Pegasus I) on Sunday, 22-Oct-1944. From all the hideouts the 130 designated soldiers were assembled in the Renkum Forest. Follows the story by Pat Mahoney, and then the story of Maarten van den Bent (then 23 years old), one of the resistance men who took over the soldiers from the children’s transport to the forest (near the Rhine). The transports took place in full daylight (soldiers on bike, wearing civilian clothes over their uniforms, accompanied by Dutch kids) and lasted that whole Saturday and part of the Sunday. That evening they formed up and proceeded towards the Rhine river, managed to bypass the German lines at the river, and got across (received by the 506th PIR of the US 101st Abn Div). Follows a narrative by Tony Hibbert, who at the time organized a commemoration and reunion of Pegasus I participants. Follows a narrative by Pat Mahoney on his feelings during the annual Arnhem commemoration on the Oosterbeek War cemetery. End of clip.
