My father was the first paratrooper to land on the Groesbeck Heights. I have a piece of this parachute. He made it through Holland and the Battle of the Burge and he got blown up and the Ziegrid Line. HQ squad, Easy Company, 2nd Batallion, 505th Regiment...

I am a 52 year old female from New Zealand and never as a woman's perspective understood why there ever had to be wars in our world 🌎.It always bothered me that these beautiful men& women had to lose their lives for such a thing.But here I am now in total ore of these amazing human beings that fort for mine & my family's existence,for ti's I am forever Great full ❤️. REST IN PEACE.
"No Mission Too Difficult, No Sacrifice Too Great! Duty First!" Yes, it's the motto of the 1st Infantry Division, but just somehow seems appropriate here. Great episode.
this is a testament of a generation of fighters, 17- to 19-year-old boys & men fighting for freedom from oppression. War is a very vicious and chaotic place , full of no certainties or guarantees that you will come home in the same way you left ... Glory to the Fallen
I had a para helmet from a British Arnhem veteran. Put it on ebay about 14 years ago hoping to get 30 pounds. It was rusty and the leather had gone brittle. Amazed when it went for 326 pounds.
You should have visited the Oorlogsmuseum at Overloon. A huge museum founded on one of the battlegrounds of Operation Marketgarden. By the way the country is called The Netherlands not Holland.
The presentation was helpful. However remember this mission was a complete failure. Montgomery assumed everything would ruin like clockwork. War never runs that way. Monty’s ego run amok. What a tragic waste!
I had no idea I was going to get so emotional watching this. Amazing story of two amazing heroes.

We owe them so much.
My heart shatters when I think of so many young men’s ultimate sacrifice and the state our county is in today. 😢

I cry for the men who lost their lives on this battle. I also cry for the mothers and families.

Another armchair expert.
When you make a documentary
Say it correctly
The Netherlands not Holland
