Still amazed, as if he did not believe in the boldness of the British attack ... The body of General Friedrich Kussin, Arnhem military commander, on the Arnhem-Utrecht road, September 17, 1944. The general was killed by soldiers of the 3rd Battalion, Lt. Col. John Fitch 1st parachute brigade of the 1st DPD. Kussina had previously warned the commander of the SS training battalion, Major Sepp Krafft, not to follow this route, but the general would not heed the warning. He wanted to get to Arnhem and organize a defense there ...
'' Private Private Frederick Bennett just handed a few apples to other paratroopers when a German staff wagon appeared on the road at high speed. Bennett started shooting at the sten. The car braked suddenly, with a squeak of tires, and tried to turn back. But it was too late. Everyone around Bennett started firing and the cart stopped abruptly, riddled with bullets like a riddle. As the paratroopers approached him carefully, they saw the driver's body hanging halfway down. The corpse of a senior German officer was also partly thrown out through the open door. ''
'' Next to the wagon, half fallen outside, there are two figures. One of them is wearing the uniform of a German general. Two narrow gates of blood froze on the golden shoulder pads. The stripes are also red, and the long, black shoes shine impeccably. The right hand in a white leather glove clutches the revolver, the left one has an unburned cigarette. The general has a young, handsome face, with a dry and sharp profile, with hair combed back with very dark eyes, looking at the blue corner of the sky between green branches at the moment. I bend over him and on a small plaque hanging around my neck read the name: Kussin, Major General. ''
