Need pictures from Materborn Rhineland WWII

[TColvin]

Marco.
Yes, please.
It would be interesting to see a picture taken from the Bresserberg tower today of what these gentlemen were looking at. The Rhine valley was flooded from Emmerich to Cleve, and from Nijmegen to Calcar. Canadians had occupied most of it and were living in the roof spaces of flooded farms, getting around in DUKWs and boats.
By the way the photographs were from the National Archives of Canada and taken by Barney J. Gloster; PA-145742 and PA-143952.

So here is the Picture from the Tower at Bresserberg

Marco.

Good.

But what I would like to see is the view to Emmerich from the Bresserberg.

Crerar, Churchill and the others were looking at the floods.

The map (from Stacey) shows part of Cleve was under water. It shows flooding all the way to Emmerich 8kms away, and Nijmegen which was 17 kms distant.

Marco.

Thank you. But do it only if it is not too much trouble.

We cannot be certain they were on the Bresserberg.

I thought trees would be a problem.

Can you climb up the Luftwaffe tower and get above the trees?
