Well, I wasn't there personally for Market Garden, so I might see it differently.
Mom couldn't remember exactly what they objected to, and they died before I really got into Dutch history, so I'll likely never know. But perhaps they were just too close to it, and would have found fault with any fictionalized account, no matter how faithful. They never liked to talk about the war too much (and then Opa exaggerated a lot, so we don't know how much is true and how much he embellished).
That's why I hope to get a Fulbright to the NL someday. I'd like to find out as much as I can about what Elizabeth and Peter did during the invasion.
