Dear Argosy - you've made my day - my order (Netherlands at War, 1940-1945) arrived on my doorstep this morning unheralded and very, very welcome. My sisters and I are Dutch immigrants in New Zealand and we all lived through that war 60 plus years ago as young kids. We had occasion to share what we remembered recently and now you've supplied the book. I can't tell you what this means...
I'd like to say thank you very much for this wonderful book! The parcel arrived yesterday in best condition. Thank you also for the very professional processing, especially the customs formalities. I've already browsed through it briefly: a very interesting work in its original, very well preserved condition. Simply wonderful!
