This operation is totaly FUBAR.When the parartoopers drooped,the German infantry ambushed them,and shooting the paratroopers within their range.The parartoopers are being sitting duck and they haven't any chance to shoot back.
@JO3HUNT79 that was the german tactic and if america would have done that same thing had they got their eailer we would have smashed them like they smashed us
If anyone of you is interested in what Polish Veterans who took part in Operation Market Garden have to say about U.K. then type " Polish veterans in Driel " in Utube and watch the very end.
The battle of the bulge shows american courage..Arnhem shows our's...out of the 10,000 troop in and around arnhem only just under 2000 made it back across the rhine..the rest held on until they had no ammo or food..truely heroic..also when the jerry crossed the bridge and asked for a surrender(meaning our surrendor)..frosts right hand man said "sorry but we havent the facilities to take you all in" haha classic
B2091, I agree, a monument to true british courage. A good story about market garden: captured major freddie gough's interrogator, a german major said "i wish to congratulate you and your men, you are gallant soldiers. I fought at staningrad and it is obvious that you british have a great deal of experience in street fighting" Gough replied "No. This was our first effort, We'll be much better next time"! classic.
I actually didn't forget about them. This video was made for a class I was doing a couple of semesters back, about American 20th Century Involvement. I had 10 minutes to do the entire presentation, unfortunately I had to leave some parts out that didn't directly address what the class was about. I would have enjoyed going into more detail if time had permitted.
I never like to admit it but I am a history buff, and a Microsoft fan. This gets a good old 5 out of 5 from me. Maybe the actual size is a little long, but I like it. Anyone wanting a quick run course through Operation Market Garden should see this.
i remember this from tv
it realy touched me when they reached holland.
im dutch
it was very awfull to see soldiers getting shot in mid air while they tried to reach the ground.

We may never forget Operation Market Garden and the troops who have died there and the veterans that still live now.

Very good video. The fight the British paras put up at Arnhem is one that should never be forgotten.
