Very well presented. Anyone who has visited that area has seen the open country, the dense cities, and how well cared for the cemeteries and memorials are. The Dutch remember.
My father was in the first parachute wave, he was a radio operator in the Royal Signals attached to the `red berets`. He was captured after 24 hours trying to get to the Bridge. Luckily he was not injured but spent 7 or 8 months in a prison camp. He was in a camp called Fallingbostel and remembers a new group of prisoners arriving escorted of course by German soldiers. The prisoners came to halt at the main gate and fell into formation and marched into the camp and in formation saluted the prisoners there, the guards did not know what to do.The soldiers were Red Berets. My father told me that story 60 years ago.
Lest we Forget... I remember jumping in to Ginkel Heath at the age of 22 in 1978 and then being transported to the Bridge to talk and mix with the then Vets... They spoke, we listened..! Some of these guys at that time were in their 50s and for them it was like yesterday..! Very moving... I felt privileged to jump in commemoration and to meet these Vets who were 'Tigers' in their day... U P
To all who servred in those days and is still alive a VERY BIG THANK YOU for your service, effort and sacrifice for us to live in freedom. To all who lost their lives in those days I thank you in all of my prayers for your sacrefice and will always remember what you gave up for us. 🙏🙏❤❤
I have been fascinated with the actual history of this battle for more than 40 years and by extention the history of airborne ops since watching A Bridge Too Far as a child (which does have its inaccuracies). Luckily enough, my father was later posted to RAF Laarbruch, Germany, which isn't far from site of the battle and visited Arnhem and it's environs on a number of occasions during my time there.
We were cycling near Driel for reasons completely unconnected and also saw the planes go over very low, like our own free airshow. We also saw the displays in the village about how the Polish Parachute brigade liberated them and then (most unfairly) were made to take the blame for the failure, which the village is still clearly very passionate about.
I attended the 35th anniversary. My parents used to attend the anniversary every year. My dad would visit Major General Frost every year together with ex para's, 2nd Battalion. He was redirected to the Far East instead of Arnhem. We had amazing times at Aldershot Airborne Forces weekend held every year.
Thank you BFBS for broadcasting this, which the main stream British media didn't. All immigrants in the UK should be made to watch this and realise the sacrifices that the brave veterans made so that they can live comfortably in the UK.
I was driving on the road in the middle of the country when these bad boys flew over 💪 they were REALLY low flying over the houses, like I could almost wave to the pilots lol
Green on mucker lots of memories from a oldswet my self an ex'service AB ALL THE WAY BROTHER FROM A EX'PARA!! An ex'2para vet. I had 4'uncle's who was in this rade an only 2came out of arnhem we will remember them!! See u on the DZ
Very nice to see, bit surprised with the “bosch” being included as they represented the enemy at the time who were responsible for many allied troops demise, and to make it worse the new Defence Minister, god help us.
My fater went in with the first wave of gliders. Like most he didn't talk about it. Many yeas later, when stationed in Germany, he said 'I fought the Nazis, not the German people'.
Dutchie here: we will never forget what the UK, USA, Canada, Poland and some French units did to liberate our country. As a mayor (presidentof a town) said. You can't explain properly the horrors what it means to be occupied, but you'll never forget the ones who liberated you. That why we warned you of Brexit. We Dutchies said 'don't do it!' Not because were are you're European enemies but because you are our friends. ❤
Hi Marcel ~ Thank You for including our Canadian military - as we are often forgotten - as demonstrated in this presentation. Even though it was the Canadians who liberated Arnhem in April 1945. That being said…there are many people grateful for our military contribution and protection…yet…I am more proud of their selfless contributions. Few know that our soldiers gave their food to the Dutch people who were starving…and saved their chocolate for the children! My grandfathers spoke of this, as they were shocked to see the emaciated bodies of the Dutch people. In good conscience, they offered their rations, sweets, and even bought ice cream when they could, so as to help until food drops arrived. Canadians will always have a deep fondness for our Dutch brethren! Cheers!🇨🇦xx❤xx🇳🇱
@@shelleyhender8537 Hi Shelley. From a Dutch point of view: how could I not forget the Canadians? You're fellow countrymen and woman liberated most of my country. ❤️ But I guess you are correct. The Canadian forces are often forgotten or just mentioned shortly. But Canada did a lot to defeat the Nazi's! And suffered high casualties doing it. They we fierce soldiers, always punching above their weight. There was a Canadian soldier, Leo Major, who liberated a whole city (Zwolle) just on his own! Zwolle made him an honorary citizen for his actions and named a street after him. We still send you a whole load of Tullips every year just to say 'thank you'.
@@marcelrenes2435 WOW! Everything you said is ABSOLUTELY true!😊 You know far more than our American neighbours…which is no surprise! Interestingly enough…most Americans still think we live on a vast wasteland, whereby we use dog teams for travel, live in igloos, and drink maple syrup 365 days a year!🫣 Few of them know that we have a wide variety of territory ranging from the Arctic, Subarctic, Boreal Forrest - all the way to a beautiful Rain Forrest and winter conditions and temperatures that is akin to northern Texas and many parts of the Netherlands. Whenever I speak to the incredibly kind and generous Dutch people - like YOURSELF - it makes my heart soar! You have just made my day so much brighter…THANK YOU so very much! I have ethnic Dutch relatives, so when we get together, we have a BBQ and a potluck! It’s a great time to celebrate our multicultural heritage. I think this is one of the many facets we share with our Dutch and European cousins. “Canucks” (a nickname for Canadians) feel more connected to our European roots, than our American neighbours. I am grateful we get along and our sovereign borders are relatively safe (China and Russia is a different story). Every year, I enjoy seeing the splendid colour of tulips your send us! I love to garden…my parents and grandparents all had gardens. So, when those tulips peak through the soil in Spring…well…it’s time to rejoice and celebrate Spring!☺ I apologize for such a lengthy text…but…you made me so happy I couldn’t help myself! Many blessings and best wishes to you and your loved ones!🇨🇦xx❤xx🇳🇱 P.S. I don’t know if you have ever visited our beautiful country…you would be welcomed with open arms and a generosity we share with our Dutch friends! Our 2 countries have a very special kingship since WWII❣
Not that but a few in Britain would be aware. As msm, & digital, seems embarrassed to publicise these great events from our history. Too much to be proud of. And the deconstruction of our culture, history, heritage, morals, values, Identity, won't stand for it. We few Patriots remember, we make a point to. And to pass this awareness, respect,& knowledge on.
did dutch as for our paras passport like the disrespectful french???? Thought not... The dutch aren't that petty. Well done too all those taking part to show respect and remember those who died for our freedoms....
First of all, the passport checks on the ground in Normandy were done at the request of the Paras themselves, as they wanted the stamp from there as a souvenir. Secondly the planes for todays drops took of from a Dutch airfield, so already within the EU unlike the D-day drops where they took of from British airfields.
You obviously don't know your onions. Far from it! Epitomises the grit and spirit of the airborne forces. It will never be forgotten nor is it ignored. We had the film playing on a huge screen once at the mounting area at Hullavington pre a major brigade exercise when I served. Unfortunate int beforehand spoiled the mission but we have the PFs and LEWTS now alongside main stream EW and satellite recon.
" Tom Holec Wasn't that the red devils parachute onto an SS division? 101st to Eindhoven and 82nd to Nijmegen?" @Tom Holec , the US 82nd and 101 airborne have NEVER,EVER,EVER been called "Red Devils" , not EVER. That was exclusively used to describe British airborne forces. I was in the UK airborne and can tell you this as an absolute fact
Let us take time out of our busy lives and Remember 😢🌺🌺🌺and show Respect to those who fell and lost their lives 80 years on in September of 1944 and in other Conflicts during WWII to Now , fighting for freedoms we cherish nowadays ,Heroes all 🌺🌺🌺 ,At the going down of the sun and in the morning.

Das war sehr interessant besonders weil mein Enkel mitgesprungen ist bin stolz auf ihn
I heard prop planes so I look outside and see all these cargo planes come by.
I attended the 35th anniversary. My parents used to attend the anniversary every year. My dad would visit Major General Frost every year together with ex para's, 2nd Battalion. He was redirected to the Far East instead of Arnhem. We had amazing times at Aldershot Airborne Forces weekend held every year.
The small chute is known as the drone chute and it does indeed pulls out the main chute.

@@hiddedenbesten1084 LOL if you say so.. But the thing is I had friends in stick two.. and thats NOT what they stated so try agian.
Commenorating one the army would rather forget.
that means that you also forget the sacrifice of these men, and we as Dutch people are not going to do that
@@KaasSchaaf666 I do wish these men were not sacrificed. Perhaps when we stop venerating sacrifice.
They will stop sending children unto their deaths.
