The Great Mistake by Peter Beale
On 4 September 1944, the British 11th Armoured Division entered Antwerp, capturing the docks intact. Basing his account on official war diaries, unit histories and personal recollections, Peter Beale examines the background, considers the actions taken and forgone between 4 and 26 September and reviews their effects on subsequent operations.
Peter Beale was twice wounded serving as a troop leader with the 9th Battalion Royal Tank Regiment from 1943 to 1945. After the war he obtained a degree in engineering from University College London before emigrating to Australia. He is author of Tank Tracks(1995) and Death by Design(1998) for Sutton. Peter lives in Valentine, New South Wales.
