  • Symbol question.svg AGF on offline sources. Not happy with the parsing of the hook, as it reads like they were already casualties.. How about ALT2... that while preparing for the air assault over the River Rhine, the commanders of the 3rd Parachute Brigade were told to expect almost a third of their strength to become casualties?

Ha - yes its obvious when pointed out, agree with ALT2 Jim Sweeney (talk) 15:47, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
