[WW] (WW) Info on Veghel, Holland



Hullo:

I hope to be running a scenario of Weird Wars
involving the 101st Airborne in Veghel, Holland during
Operation Market Garden. While I have seen it
referenced as a village in WW2 websites, I have been
unable to find more substantial information on the
village other than a short blurb that it grew up
around a castle demolished centuries ago (which had
some intriguing potential for Weird Wars in and of
itself) and the creation of a canal made it an
industrial center. But my google search for Veghel
yielded no English language websites.

Does anyone know any details on Veghel? How large was
it exactly at the time of Operation Market Garden,
were there civilians in the town during the battles
there, what kind of buildings/roads etc were there? Or
if anyone knows of any personal accounts of veterans
detailing fighting around Veghel and could point their
locations out to me, I would greatly appreciate it. 
In fact, any tips or help would be appreciated. Thanks
in advance!
