Well I reckoned it would have to be Holland Huib and took a punt on Arnhem
When I enlaarged the Google Coordinates form the thumbnail I got a spot about 25 Km west of Arnhem near Rhenen aand while the Red Devils may have been dropped that far away I don't know of a battle there so am about to search your great scenario contributions

It is part of the Grebbe Line just east of the town of Rhenen which was fought over in May of 1940. I don't know the exact name of the battle fought therebut I believe that the West Front battle "Grebbe Line 1940" was fought there.

After further review my guess is "The Battle of the Outposts" which is one of your scenarios.

Pip, Nick,

You are both correct it is the Grebbeberg near Rhenen. Called "Teufelsberg" by the Germans after the fighting of may 1940. It was the bloodiest battle of the may 1940 campaign in Holland.
The scns indeed are "Battle of the Outposts" and also "a Dutch Verdun"
