That place is called "Arnheim", not "Arnhem".

Perhaps the locals spell it Arnheim, but on many english maps its Arnhem. Probably along the same lines as your maps say Munchen and ours Munich etc. i did search national geographic and yahoo for the Arnhem spelling and both provided many links to sites spelled the "english" way. interesting to me how the practice of changing the names came to be. i doubt many US cities are "re-named" on maps for the rest of the world. probably to help some dummy pronounce it easier, though i dont see munchen/munich as a good example of that. and no, my keyboard doesnt do umlauds for the proper spelling of munich. sorry if im too off topic. jp

Hello David ! I see you finished this big scenario - Congrat
I have seen it in its begining and it played well then!!
Nice to hear from you again! i don't know if a scenario this complicated will ever be "finished". There are so many things that can be tweaked or manipulated. But, I'm done with "version 1.0", anyway.

That's interesting, Jaques. Maybe, doing an Internet search using the German spelling might bring up some new information from the German perspective of the battle, although it will probably be in German. All of the English text books and websites, and even the Dutch ones, that I've seen have spelled it "Arnhem".Originally posted by Jaques Rico:

I was supposed to move to Munich several years back, and when I was in Germany, I was confused by how to pronounce Munchen. Language differences are funny that way.

To Truckeye:
Münich becomes Muenich to simulate umlaut and other examples:
grüssen --> gruessen (bye)
über --> ueber (on)
and so on.
Bye
Don't bother with "umlaut", you can substitute them with "e":and no, my keyboard doesnt do umlauds for the
proper spelling of munich.

i knew about the "e" trick, but in this case i thought it would just add more confusion 
i figured someone would tell me a trick about hitting several keys at the same time to get a secret umlaut symbol

To Truckeye:
you may try those:
[Alt] + 132 = ä
[Alt] + 137 = ë
[Alt] + 139 = ï
[Alt] + 148 = ö
[Alt] + 129 = ü
or look for more at:

Many towns in Europe near borders have names in their original language and in that of the neighboring Country, at times because it may have changed hands several times over the centuries.
Arnhem is a Dutch town. The Dutch call it Arnhem, the Germans Arnheim.
Arnehm is not an "English" spelling, it is the proper spelling.
Arnheim most certainly is not, and the Dutch inhabitants who suffered 5 years of German occupation and had their town severely damaged by the fighting, in which civilian casualties were suffered, to liberate it would have taken exeption to anyone suggesting otherwise.
