Guys stop arguing and saying that America or Britain was the reason the Allies won the war, it was the combined effort of everyone that defeated the Nazis. The American Industry, the British Strategy, and the Soviet's taking on 80-90% of the German Army. Also don't forget the resistance fighters in occupied territory who fought on and gave the allies information even though their country had already been defeated.

Abide with me; fast falls the even tide.

The darkness deepens; Lord with me abide.

When other helpers fail and comforts flee;

help of the helpless, oh abide with me.

@pgamer4life Dont forget about Canada.

A sad, hopeless ending to a great movie. But this wasn't the end, just a temporary setback. Market Garden made such an impression on the Germans that they started to scavenge units on the Russian front to fill perceived "gaps" in their defenses on the western front. If nothing else, the operation helped the Soviets regroup for the final push to Berlin.

90% successful... B.S tell that to the 10,000 british paratroopers etc. R.I.P

To those who are arguing about which country really won the war, I firmly believe it took a combined effort. (I'm American, btw), but I'll say this all day: Market Garden was a bad idea from the beginning. Stringing a tank corp along a narrow road and dropping airborne divisions right on top of two SS Panzer divisions ESPECIALLY when you know the tanks are there. Fact is, the Germans were trying to regroup for an assault on the homeland and no doubt were going to defend any and all towns along

Beautiful song !!!

@stewarthird The only horrible fact was that when the polish dropped they landed right on top of the SS, they just happened to be there and you can hear Major-General Stanisław Sosabowski (Gene Hackmen) crying, that scene nearly brings me too tears everytime I see it. "God bless Field-Marshall Montgomery".

I don't know why Monty didn't listen to the intelligence he was given by the Poles that said there was and SS Panzer Division near Arnhem. What a terrible waste of British, and Polish lives that could have been used in subsequent operations like the Scheldt estuary or the Rhine crossings. And as I learnt from a Dutch friend while I was visiting Arnhem last year, Monty blamed the Poles for the defeat because the would cross over to the other side of the river rhine. It was his fault.

@hoosieryank1967 You're thinking of the 15th Army. It is rediculous that 6 divisions managed to run from the banks of the Seine all the way the River Scheldt without the 1st CDN and the 2nd BR catching them. Monty refused to let the American 1st to cross in front of him at Brussels and Ghent. The bag at Mons could have been the entire 5th Panzer and 7th Army as well as unhinged the 15th flank or about 70,000 men. As it was we captured about 25,000 from the remnants of three corps.
