  • come on they dont have flares??

    what a joke

  • @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.

  • what was in the crate? it looked like hats

  • @alejeron Berets.

  • umm? why wont they capture landing zones?

  • @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.

  • 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.

  • @liamuk08 i dont beleive one guy with a M1 Garand killed more then 20 germans right in front of him without being shot in the face 84times

  • @HenryvKeiper why were their Berets in a Supply Crate!!? how about food and ammo?

  • Was the commander of the British troops Scottish,and did he really shoot a German soldier dead in battle.
