2:04 road sign in direction of travel "Helmond 16, Roermond 52" and coming from "Hasselt 55". This general position makes it late October or early November.
2:10 "45" unit sign
6:00 Very atmospheric extended sequence of operating a ferry in dense fog.
These scenes are from Operation Market garden. @3.44 - 18/9/44 - the day my partner's grandfather was captured by the Germans. He dropped with the first paras into Arnhem, Holland on day 1 of Operation Market garden. @2.50 I've seen the picture of the boy with the goat before. This was taken on 18 or 19/9/44 in Eindhoven. These celebrations were premature as the area was heavily bombed shortly after that with many civilian and military loss of life. The Dutch have never blamed the Allied forces and continue to remember them and all those buried there every year.
The headline is wrong. It's not an invasion, its a liberation.

Operation Market Garden, Liberation of Eindhoven by XXX Corps
I love seeing the joy and jubilation (even if premature) on the faces and in their behavior (the Dutch population)!!!
Begining with Tanks going through Stratumseind towards Sint-Catharina church (Eindhoven) and later putting men over the Canal near Son
3:24 "Order" "(Long) Live the Queen!" The top line refers to Eindhoven.
9:11 "32, Palmer, Roll 4, 19-9-44" September 19 1944. Time of Operation Market Garden.
Fascinating! Why the American white star on British tanks?
All Allied armour wore the white star insignia following the June '44 invasion to be more recognisable from the air.
2:54 Children in a cart pulled by a goat with what is likely an orange flag and hats.
I think you'll find that's liberation not invasion

Os aliados durante a segunda guerra mundial...se eles não conseguisse subir a montanha eles fazia um túnel!
Why did the British armored vehicles have a white star?
A recognition signal for aircraft.
SHAEF order for the invasion of Europe. All allied vehicles at to be identified by a white star as a recognition sign for friendly forces. Prior to this, it was a uniquely American recognition identifier.
Similar to invasion stripes for aircraft.
