My mother older brother was a glider pilot in the that, he was in the airborne. he landed on 17th September 44, but he was wounded on 20th September, but he fought on, until he got wounded again. and on the way to the make shift outpost first aid, the Jeep carrying him was ambushed and he was killed , along with 2 others on 21st September 44. Zheng was aged 32.
Interesting to see how fast the Cromwell cruiser tank was. It shows this tank was really valuable at exploiting break outs and out flanking enemy forces.
As we all know now hindsight is a wnderfull thing but to do what they did with what they had against the armour that they didn't know of or was not told is history but hero's one and all god bless them we look back with tears in our eyes for the young men that never came home❤
red devils of arnheim lost 8000 men . monty was a fool.
"Red Devils" are paras, not glider troops. You're welcome.
not Montys..try Brereton and Williams for the plan Ike for demanding it happen.
Patton said "i will never order again take order from britain" this was real mess.i was myself with cdn ab regt and i saw bridge too far picture and we left movie theater i was sick the result bad planning.i said myself from day one no more bs like this in my watch and i keep it.😮
planned by Americans Brereton and Williams, messed up by Gavin.
As usual young brave men counting the cost of poor planning and old men sending them to war
Amazing propaganda spin.
And we're still getting it!
"The first casualty of war is the truth."
If that had worked a very differant outcome
It is astonishing during the Western Allies' Operation Market-Garden that _ad-hoc_ German forces, i.e., improvised "battle-groups," centered around a few experienced, battle-hardened, and savvy army veterans but otherwise comprising army stragglers, Luftwaffe ground crews, teenage Kriegmarine cadets, more teenage boys of the _Hitlerjugend,_ and others, many of whom, if not most, had never been trained as infantry or even fired a shot in battle before Arnhem, could fight a British Airborne Division, the infantry elite of the British Army, to an absolute standstill and stop it in its tracks. It was certainly an extraordinary and tremendous feat of arms by these improvised, _ad-hoc_ German formations. The Germans truly were remarkable soldiers.
Max Hastings in his excellent book _Armageddon: the Battle for Germany, 1944-1945_ gives a searing and comprehensive account of Operation Market-Garden and the Battle of Arnhem and in this chapter's source notes on the battle he gives acknowledgment to Robert J. Kershaw's _"It Never Snows in September": the German View of MARKET-GARDEN and the Battle of Arnhem, September 1944_ which now I shall have to read as I am so intrigued by the Germans' operations at Arnhem. I hope it gives a good, detailed, and comprehensive account of how the Germans accomplished this great feat of arms and triumphed at Arnhem with such hurriedly formed _ad-hoc,_ improvised formations of mostly untrained personnel so late in the war.
Very well said sir but don’t forget the British airborne radios didn’t work so there was no cohesion and they have done so things might have been different
Lots of our suppliers were being dropped to the Jerries
But taking nothing away from the German army they were probably the greatest fighting army ever when one takes into consideration what they face on the stone from unbelievable
Eastern front
Predictive spelling playing me up yet again😊
The British Army failed miserably
Really???? What about Yanks??? How many days did Nijmegen take?? 🤔🤔
Any military operation carriers risk and no guarantee of success…

Clive's a clown
Please do remind us which side won the war?
I think you'll find that it wasn't the Germans.
maybe..but we tried and were not cowards hahahaha
My great grandfather fought here ( Flak - Gunner German)
