The British Sniper Tally – Arnhem
During the fighting around Arnhem in Operation Market Garden, British sniper Tony Crane kept a handwritten tally of his combat actions while defending positions near the town. The tally was recorded on a piece of wallpaper recovered from a home along Pietersbergseweg in Oosterbeek, offering a rare and personal glimpse into the intensity of the battle fought by British airborne troops.
Today, this remarkable artifact is preserved and displayed at the Airborne Museum Hartenstein. The museum contains an outstanding collection of artifacts, immersive exhibits, and firsthand accounts that vividly portray the day-to-day experiences of British paratroopers during the Battle of Arnhem. For anyone interested in World War II history or airborne operations, the Airborne Museum Hartenstein is an essential stop and one of the most compelling battlefield museums in the Netherlands.
