Holland at War Against Hitler: Anglo-Dutch Relations, 1940-1945
"I was told that on Dutch Staff College exercises based on Groesbeck, between the wars, when the task set was an advance on Arnhem from Nijmegen, a solution involving the use of that road got no marks at all. The preferred solution was an advance in a north-westerly direction to force a crossing over the Lek lower down and then to move in on Arnhem from the west."
