Aufklarung is an unknown quantity at this point
I had never had the pleasure of watching "A Bridge Too Far" before I picked it up for a song at the local supermarket.

Anyway, my question was that in the movie, a member of the British intelligence had found signs of panzer units in the Arnhem(?) area. From what documentaries I've seen, however, it was supposedly a complete suprise to find the 9th and 10th SS Panzer in the area. I've had problems finding very much detailed information on the operation.

So was the intelligence in the movie only Hollywood fiction or was there some truth to it?
