XXX Corps liberation of Elst
On 22nd September, the British troops marched along the narrow roads to the west of Elst on their way to Driel. There, they joined the Polish parachutists who had landed there on the 21st. During this manoeuvre, the British rushed to set up their own ambush for the German tanks of Hummel's schwere Panzer Kompanie (heavy tank company), destroying at least five of his tanks, (as described in the audio story).
Subsequently, the British troops attacked Elst from the west and liberated it on 26th September 1944.
