This event actually happened in real life, however the brave para did not die and was to discover that he had risked his life for the sake of a few red berets.

I'd recommend that guy for a posthumous Victoria Cross if i was his CO, even though that box was just full of caps.

@ZaZaTofuHumperdink I wonder if he was more pissed or humored.

Who the hell drops berets to a a battlefield? Last I checked you can eat or shoot felt.

@YARROWS The commander of the British 1st Airborne Division was Major General Urquhart, he was Scottish, and yes, he did indeed shoot a German soldier dead.

brave and sacrifice...and you? what would you do for others ?

He risked his life ... for a couple of Berets ... Thats fucked up.

This is one of those scenes where you just have to sit back and take a deep breath after seeing.

@NoobSnoopy What good would that do? They establish that the pilots have orders to ignore anything from the ground. For all they knew, those British could have been Germans.

@NoobSnoopy Combination of manpower and the fact they aren't adequately equipped. They're up against a mechanized SS unit with tanks, and they have little to use against that.
