I hadn't seen this movie in some years and forgotten just how great it was. I had however learned more about the war in the interim, such that the voice-over in the opening sequence about the overall significance of D-day and Normandy campaigns towards defeating the germans now came as a bit of a surprise. I know that's the commonly held belief in north america, but was surprised to learn how widespread it must be in england and netherlands too. Regardless, after that brief aside three hours of superlative film-making then promptly resumed.
Watching during the 80th anniversary of Market Garden, THANK YOU 🙏🏻 With my job I have been to Nijmegen with the Grenadier Guards on battlefield studies & what isn’t really understood in a nearly 3 hour film is the house to house fighting of Nijmegen. I have since read 3 amazing books about Route Club, “HELLS HIGHWAY”, “NIJMEGEN” & “THE ISLAND”. These are truly amazing books in detail about what really happened along the way.
Apparently 10 0/0 of the airbourne troops who parachuted in had serious spinal injuries or broken bones landing with round chutes and the weight of gear they jumped with...
Interesting info about the 4 leopards and 9 shermans. It's quite amazing what is possible with so little, given a talented producer. I don't specifically have the equivalent sorts of numbers, but a few soviet movies i've seen right here on youtube appear to have had at least a few more than 9 t-34's to work with, even if the german tanks were just the same plywood and fibreglass fakes. Regardless of the numbers, seeing the actual thing belching smoke and exhaust is so much more convincing than any amount of CGI and AI.
As I undestand it was a combination of both fuel shortages in the front, german pockets of resistance... logistics is a bitch. Read Logistics section en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Market_Garden
@@nacho71ar The Logistics for 35,000 men , evern with other elements was far less than for 5,000 ships to cross the channel and deploy on heavily defended Europe and break out, so that is just rubbish when examined !
A Brilliant movie by any measure, well acted, scripted, directed, historical happening, brilliant, EXCEPT it did not deal with Montgomery truthfully, over many years I have delved into relativities of happennings of events in WW2 and Montgomery NEVER in any of his actions held his men in disregard, quite the opposite , he went to ecemplary lengths to ensure they were safe and had everything they needed, while this was a failure it would be good to dig a bit deeper into the murky mire of politics surrounding why it failed, I think you will find a sinister red herring here and there.
After reading about him quite alot lately, I think Churchill's assesment of Montgomery seems a fair one: “Indomitable in retreat, invincible in advance, insufferable in victory.” A man's life can't be summed up in a phrase of course but there you go.
It is an anti-British movie filled with inaccuracies in which the Brits are shown to be sluggish incompetents and the Americans 'get-up and go'. It was American financed.
You might be interested in the Tim Saunders books like I mentioned in my comment. There is so much detail in them that is no way covered in a film from 1977, literally allied troops in one ditch along Route Club & German fallschirmjager in a ditch on the other side.
Let me know if any other language subtitles are needed.
