These Germans were lucky it was the Brits and not the Russians who got them...
4:07 Dispatch rider with prisoner has "56" unit sign on his helmet,
Lorry behind has a "64".
0:27 Sergeant stirring his tea over a fire has a distinctive formation patch.
It's Leslie tartan, worn by the KOSBs and Royal Scots Fusiliers, amongst others.
4:14 From here on is a long sequence of German prisoners being taken across a river. Some are children and some are elderly. It could be 1945 as easily as 1944.
Looks to me West of 'Hells Highway' september 1944 .
Although I must admit it's simular to the Brabant Wall Ridge at Woensdrecht County and east of it(Kalmthoutse Heide).
Difficulty is that both in both area's German Para units were involved.
0:01 King's Own Scottish Borderers
5:52 British Corps Military Police
0:01 Weasel amphibious vehicle suggests this is the Battle for the Scheldt.
Tea, Back bone of the British Army
Yes, just like coffee was for the US troops...
Yeah...
@@vivians9392 yup....
What abt the invention of those cups or mugs at that time..... To have tea or coffee in those cups or mugs....
5:54 British officer is wearing the cap badge of the Military Police, which doesn't really help much to identify the unit.
Battle of the Reichwald?
Invasion during those wars and after those wars could have made major impact on the economy of those countries which have been affected by those bombings.... That's what it is.....I think Rise in the global economy and rise in those currencies(especially dollar and pound) had came after those wars
4:18 "77" unit sign on jeep for anti-tank regiment.
2:30 men mach past a parachute
When one thinks about what these men went through and the life-giving sacrifices offered, one feels proud, but there is a wonder what would they feel about the values that they fought and died for being sacrificed on the altar of wokeism?
