The intro never fails to send shivers down my spine.."The plan, like so many plans before it......was meant to to end the fighting by Christmas and bring the boys back home".

Powerful stuff

This intro brings tears to my eyes It makes me feel very proud of our brave ancestors who stood up against evil

@mumugamer2006 and plunged the continent further into communism..

@mumugamer2006 Well, let's see. In June 0f 1944 most of Western Europe was occupied by the armies of a brutal dictatorship. Yes, D-Day changed "all that". A Soviet victory would not have changed that critical fact. Ask the Latvians and Poles.  They had to stay occupied for more than 40 more years.

[mumugamer2006]

D-Day changed all that? Guys, seriously. D-Day was just a support for the Soviets. The reds would have won even without the help of the western allies. D-day just accelerated the war.

@taff1976 Unfortunately you won´t find any purchaseable version with a beginning like at 02:15. I bought some tracks, but i had to extract it from this intro here to get that spine-down-shivering version.

I know this had been said before but, this was the biggest mistake Ike made, he should have listened to Patton, I mean an Airborne assault behind 70 miles behind enemy lines, and having an Armored corps fight their way through to link up with the Airborne troopers, come on, our guys did the best they could, but wouldnt it have been a much better decision to take Eindhoven first before the assault began?

@1916jutland; wish just proves how deluded the Germans were too. Anyone with the slightest clue about Market Garden would know it was doomed to fail before the first airborne troops jumped, the failure lay with the planners. Not even Blood & Guts could've made this work,

@kealyc

All of the upper Allied command - SHAEF and its immediate subordinates had agendas. These men were after all, only human with human failings. The British and Commonwealth suffered terribly in 1914-18. People like Monty and Browning wanted the glory but they were also terribly aware of casualties. Remember, we had been in the game since September 1939. Monty saw a chance and he took it. He had been succesful at Alamein - sent Rommel packing - of course people listened to his ideas.

Great movie and intro and especially the soundtrack

[hoosieryank1967]

@kealyc too give Monty credit, it was well-known that the nazis had infiltrated the Dutchunderground prior to D-Day, so they took what the Netherlands gave them well-salted, albeit undeservedly so after D-Day.

The March sounds like the Circus....!
