A PIAT from Arnhem
Last weekend at the We Have Ways podcast’s history festival the Airborne Assault Museum brought along a very interesting piece of history - a PIAT with Arnhem provenance. The PIAT had allegedly been dropped during Operation Market Garden but not used.
At some point after the battle it was discovered by locals and handed into the Doorwerth Museum, west of Oosterbeek, and was subsequently gifted the the Airborne Assault Museum in the 1950s. The PIAT is in great shape, albeit deactivated, and it was a pleasure to take a look at a weapon which could be traced back to the battle.
