[edit]

Why does this article have a section titled 'The Bombing Raids on Montfort'? It sounds rather clumsy and besides, I thought the Typhoon's chief armament was the 60 lb rocket, not bombs. A better section title might be 'Air raids on Monfort'. This extract from the 'Huber's defeat at Sint Joost' section troubles me: "Those paratroopers who were not killed only dared to leave the cellars under safe cover of the civilians". Is this another way of describing the use of human shields? Because if so, a cite might be needed. What do other editors think? RASAM (talk) 22:42, 10 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Heinsberg

[edit]

Dear Editor,

The opening sentence: (Operation Blackcock was the clearing of German troops from the Roer Triangle, formed by the Netherlands towns of Roermond, Sittard and Heinsberg, during World War II) is a bit confusing to me. Heinsberg is in Germany and has been for a while. If you click on the link you will see the reference in Wikipedia. I was not sure how to change it but hope this helps.

All the best. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 116.214.114.4 (talk) 12:22, 23 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
