Part of Operation market garden the battle of Arnhem fought by the British 1st airborne division and the Polish airborne brigade in an unequal battle with German tank divisions. Both the British and Poles suffered terrible casualty's. This is my second video about the battle of Arnhem after visiting the battle fields at Arnhem and oosterbeek I was inspired to do a hopefully better tribute to the men that fought there. I have used some footage from the film Theirs is the glory made in 1945 using survivors of the battle at Arhem not actors so everybody you see in the video was there.
For anybody that's interested in 20th century military and home front collecting have a look at my web site it has more videos plus speeches and news broadcasts of the 20th century. Plus veteran recording. And don't miss the veterans section look for the poppy. http://josephs-militaria-and-homefront-collection.co.uk/
A visit to the Hartenstein and to Libert Park, Overloon, are a must for anyone interested in ww2.
