Arnhem 1944 - Clip 3 

It's one of my favourites too 😎

Yes, and very brave.

I remember watching an interview with Richard Attenborough where he stated that the actor who played the German officer kept on forgetting his lines (he didn’t really have to say much.) I think Attenborough was rather irritated by him, but he kept him in the role because he looked the part.

I've been uploading for around 10 years now but I did take a break of nearly 2 years a while back, but have been posting again for a couple of years or so now. I'm glad you enjoy the clips 🙂

Yes, the guy died a hero's death. This one is in my top 3 war movies ever, an absolute classic!

​@@foreverblueclassicsYes, there are a lot of great ones and this is certainly among them. A classic indeed!

You could never top this movie as a testament to the men who fought on both sides, and the Dutch civilians caught in the middle of it. It's one of the best war movies ever in my opinion.

@@foreverblueclassics i live in Oosterbeek very close to Arnhem. The Britisch and Polish Paras fought very brave untill the end for the freedom that we can enjoy now. Nice Channel you have👍🏻⚘⚘⚘

@@chiefslief1886 Thank you, I am very pleased you enjoy my channel 🙂. It is very humbling the appreciation that is given by the Dutch people every September when the events are held in and around Arnhem to remember those who fell and you can be sure that all the British soldiers who take part every year, and the veterans who still attend if they are able to, very much reciprocate the feelings to the locals.

They had people who fought on both sides as advisors and I think that helped make it the great movie that it is. It's in my Top 3.

They were traitors to their people that's for sure.

that explains the guard played by Hartmut Becker in the beginning of the movie, who halted the bicycle boy on his way to meet a friend. He was conversing with the boy in Dutch. I thought he was a German who knows Dutch language. the actor was German though. he also played a notorious SS Officer Gustaf Wagner in Escape from Sobibor

@@foreverblueclassics nah

@@harryhealy611 You think Dutchmen who took the side of the Germans against their own people were not traitors?!

The 23rd SS Volunteer Panzer Grenadier Division Nederland fought mostly on the Eastern Front cause many of them have no love for Communism. Yes they did a lot of awful s**t over there but its WW2 who hasn't?

He was a brave man for sure.

Wow, I didn't know that! Thanks for the info!

One of the best for sure.

That has to have hurt!

You can see the blood pack under the fabric

​Ja, tatsächlich - auf beiden Seiten.

The SS captain name was Viktor Grabner not Paul!

@@oliverjovanovic2196 A Bridge Too Far author Cornelius Ryan incorrectly named Hauptsturmführer Viktor Grabner as Paul Grabner.

It certainly was.

Yes, and I guess it makes it a little less realistic. But this is a great movie and it is agreed to be an accurate depiction of the battle and a fine testament to those who fought in it.

Dziękuję, cieszę się, że podobał Ci się film 🙂!

Film "Trzech czołgistów i pies" wygląda o wiele bardziej realistycznie...

Yes, very brave men they were.

Sometimes they don't come through!

@@foreverblueclassics Perhaps now you can go to your The Cutthroats upload and check it out!

@@tanktank3874 I'll need to find the upload! It's been so long!

@@foreverblueclassics Yes since it's 7 years old lol!

@@tanktank3874 I can't find your recent comment? I did find one from 3 years ago that I missed though!

Yes, they were very brave men indeed.

We are in the midst of this again unfortunately...our own government will be fighting against its own people soon.

Every nation? Germany too?

@@tedmccarron well there were nazis but there were also conscripts So yeah, the sacrifice of the conscripts was necessary

@@lucasguenesmenezes6416 yes but I still disagree with the idea that we are enjoying peace and prosperity now because of German conscripts in World War II.

Es ist ein ausgezeichneter Film und ein schönes Zeugnis für die Männer, die auf beiden Seiten gekämpft haben.

Du meinst also es sei realistisch,das der deutsche Kommandant und der Rest der deutschen Soldaten ,so offen in ein Gefecht gefahren sind? Träum weiter. Solche Filme sind absoluter Müll!

Ich war nicht dabei und du auch nicht. Diejenigen, die in der Schlacht gekämpft haben, gaben zu der Zeit an, dass dieser Film eine genaue Darstellung der Ereignisse war. Ich schlage vor, Sie sagen ihnen, dass sie Lügner waren.

@@hornybynature69 wer hat mit dir geredet

@@hornybynature69 This actually happened somewhat like depicted,although in real life, it was 2 hour engagement, and Germans had mortar support, but British also had 6pdr AT guns in the battle. Germans still lost 15 out of 22 combat vehicles (there are still aerial photos of destroyed vehicles cluttering the bridge) and 80 out of 400 men,including commander Victor Grabner (who actually was famous for conducting similar reckless attacks, although on the eastern front and in Normandy, he was actually successful in those,while here it didn't work).

Now THAT is an impressive spot!

Danke! Ich freue mich, dass es Ihnen gefallen hat 🙂!

@@foreverblueclassics Schade, dass sie diese Schlacht verloren haben 🇩🇪

Indeed, it's a classic!

He was a brave man though to be fair.

@@foreverblueclassics Yes he was,but fanatically programmed as most SS where.

@@nelvaldo.4850 Yes, like an automaton. Some of them would have killed their grandmothers if the SS ordered it.

Auf beiden Seiten. Sie waren mutige Männer.

Who knows?!

@@foreverblueclassics I assume that answer means that it is possible!

@@tanktank3874 Who knows?!

Ikr, I wouldn't want to assault in that vehicle either. I think the SS Troops here were from a Reconnaissance Battalion that are one of the few Units that were ready for combat while the other Units were regrouping themselves.

@@Crackshotsteph Yeah, that's there job description.

Yep.

Yes, he was around 39/40 when this was released.

No, which makes it more realistic than most war movies.

@@foreverblueclassics Perhaps apart from the Robert Redford bridge scene its the only Allied victory in the movie!

@@tanktank3874 Which is pretty much accurate to be honest!

@@tanktank3874 What about that first engagement by XXX corps,although with the help air support?

@@kaletovhangar Oh true 😎

Grazie amico mio, è sempre un grande complimento sapere che ti è piaciuto uno dei miei video 😍😎🙂💜🍷!

@@foreverblueclassics Grazie amico mio :)☺ Vi auguro una Buona Domenica sera e un buon mese di Agosto😍❤🍷

@@rikaweimann6063 Sei molto gentile 💜😉! E gli stessi auguri a te 😍🥂!

It's brief really.

@@foreverblueclassics Yes I have seen it.

@@tanktank3874 I didn't see your original comment till yesterday!

@@foreverblueclassics Oh thats why you took some time to respond lol 😂

@@tanktank3874 Yes, it's out of my control. I only saw your comments when I was replying to someone else!

Indeed. Sticking your torso out of an armoured verhicle during an attack kind of defeats the purpose of having an armoured vehicle in the first place...

'A Bridge Too Far' (1977) - www.imdb.com/title/tt0075784/ На мой взгляд, это один из лучших фильмов о войне.

"Мост слишком далеко". Снимались сливки европейского и голливудского кино того времени: Лоуренс Оливье, Шон Коннери, Дирк Богард, Джин Хэкман, Майкл Кейн, Энтони Хопкинс, Максимилиан Шелл, Лив Ульман и др.

@@MS4View Это один из моих самых любимых фильмов о войне. Великолепно, а какой актерский состав!

@@foreverblueclassics Именно ) Хотя сюжет основан на событиях провальной операции Монти (Бернарда Монтгомери) "Маркет Гарден", когда британский военно-воздушный десант, высаженный в Голландии потерпел сокрушительное поражение, хотя отдельные английские подразделения проявили стойкость и упорство как на этом мосту.

@@MS4View Да, это замечательный фильм и прекрасное свидетельство храбрых людей, сражавшихся в нем. С обеих сторон.

😃

Without a doubt. There were very brave men on both sides.

Sim, um ótimo filme.

@@foreverblueclassics valeu meu brat 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟

It was a rout!

👍

Che tu ci creda o no, questo film è generalmente considerato un ritratto accurato degli eventi dell'operazione Market Garden ad Arnhem e dintorni, una battaglia che alla fine i tedeschi hanno vinto ovviamente. I veterani sono stati consultati nella sua realizzazione ed è stato molto lodato sia allora che ora per la sua autenticità.

@@foreverblueclassics ...allora...io non conosco nei dettagli gli avvenimenti...ma sono un giocatore di wargames (giochi tattici in scala...non quelli che si sparano nei boschi)...se parliamo di un "agguato" o di una "sorpresa" ok...ma dal film non è molto chiaro anzi, la "colonna" arriva a metà ponte e "qualcuno" si accorge che gli inglesi sono asserragliati negli edifici e dunque fanno fuoco per primi e tentano di superare il ponte ugualmente con davanti le jeep e le moto???...avendo dietro i mezzi corazzati che al limite se aprono il fuoco su degli edifici civili fanno a pezzi quelli dentro!!??...ed altre amenità del genere? Per altro in un momento in cui i tedeschi ormai con le pezze al culo cercavano di ridurre al minimo le perdite ecc...e usavano muoversi con sempre molta prudenza!...Questa trasposizione degli avvenimenti è sicuramente e solo "cinematografica"...i Tedeschi non avrebbero mai tentato di superare il ponte in quelle condizioni se avessero anche solo sospettato che ci fossero stati gli inglesi nei paraggi!...se non con accorgimenti ben diversi di quelli riprodotti nel film...

@@paoloferraris8518 Posso solo andare sulle testimonianze scritte di coloro che hanno preso parte ai combattimenti e generalmente erano d'accordo (veterani britannici, americani, polacchi e tedeschi più civili olandesi e belgi) all'epoca che questa fosse un'eccellente rappresentazione del corso della battaglia , sia nel libro che nel film. I tedeschi a volte hanno commesso errori tattici. Come tutti gli umani sono stati in grado di commettere errori di giudizio e non erano i "superuomini" che alcune persone vorrebbero farti credere. Erano soldati eccellenti, molto probabilmente i più duri del mondo all'epoca. Ma in carne e ossa come tutti gli altri e non contrari agli errori a volte visti con il senno di poi. Comunque grazie per aver dedicato del tempo a commentare. È sempre interessante avere un dibattito con qualcuno che si sente fortemente su un argomento!

@@paoloferraris8518 Look at TIK Battlestorm series on operation market garden,he depicts real attack in great detail,including the history of Victor Grabner,the reckless commander of recon battalion.

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it 😎🙂💙🍺!

Der Aufmarsch der Deutschen auf die Brücke ist doch völliger Unsinn und Irrelevant. Halt Film aber Irre.

It's a great film for sure but I'm not sure I'd say it was "much better". It's a different kind of film and a classic in its own right. But it's all about opinions!

@@foreverblueclassics A Bridge too Far a great film also,but in my view from the action sequences Sam was a great visionary. The T34s were miniature models and looked so realistic. DEMARCATION!!! Jusy quoting the line in film.😊. Great to hear from a WW2 film fan .👍

@@rossorlandi5173 Yes, I love both movies too. And many thanks for the great comment 🙂!

This actually happened at Arnhem bridge,only that instead of 5 minutes,it was 2 hour engagement, and Germans had mortar support, but still lost 15 out of 22 combat vehicles and 80 out of 400 men in this recon battalion, including the commander Victor Grabne who was depicted dying in combat

Dies not look like a nonsens, it is one.

Victor Grabner (the commander of recon battalion of 9th SS panzer division,who attacked over the bridge) actually did similar reckless attacks on the eastern front and in Normandy.He even earned his iron cross a day before this engagement. Here,his reckless attack cost him his life,about 15 out of 22 vehicles and 80 of around 400 men in battalion.

This engagement actually happened, only though,it was about 2 hours long battle, not 5 minutes like in the movie.

Tell that to the vets who gave this movie the thumbs-up for its accuracy (and that was on the German and Allied sides).

It was a probing assault, the Germans knew they were facing a force with no vehicles, just not sure how many.....

It happened though.

Es ist kein Unsinn. Der deutsche Offizier ist Kapitän Kapitän Paul Grabner und er griff die Brücke auf diese Weise an und starb bei dem Versuch. Dies ist einer der realistischeren Kriegsfilme, bei dem alle Seiten zu den Fakten konsultiert wurden - einschließlich der deutschen Seite - und er wird allgemein als zutreffend angesehen in seiner Darstellung der Kämpfe in und um Arnhem und Holland als Ganzes im September 1944.

Это не.

Search for Victor Grabner who commanded this German battalion and how he died.

@@kaletovhangar Indeed. It's amazing the number of people who think the Germans were so invincible they never made any errors of judgement.

Yeah.I mean,yes,German army was extremely professional, there is no doubt about that really, but they weren't immune to poor judgment of situation, otherwise Stalingrad encirclement and similar things wouldn't have happened. For example, entire German infantry division was fully routed by the Red army tank brigade during the battle of Moscow, at Sandomierz bridgehead in 1944 IS-2s and T-34/85s tore newly arrived Kingtiger battalion a new one,figuratively speaking.At Ortona in Italy 1943,commonwealth forces who were actually outnumbered and outgunned defeated and forced into retreat SS division.At Murmansk front in 1941,entire SS division after rather brief engagement with defending Red army went into a panicked retreat deep into the hinterland.At southern flank of Stalingrad defense, Red army rifle divisions(outnumbered,although dug in),decimated 4th panzer army's tanks worse than later at Kursk.Patton's' 3rd army had 2 armored divisions beating and effectively destroying 2 panzer brigades and another panzer division which outnumbered and outgunned them,although with the help of the air cover.Also,there were tons of small scale engagements worthy of mentioning where Germans outnumbered and outgunned their opponents and still lost.

Думаю, вы найдете этот фильм довольно точным в описании событий вокруг «Операции Market Garden» в 1944 году.

God made all people from one man, Adam. All people are brothers. The God saves people by preaching (1st Corinthians 1: 21). He has nothing to do with war. Unfortunately, the lying and corrupt clergy is silent about this. They even bless racists and nazis in the name of God. The problem is that the Devil rules the world. He is a liar and a murderer. This is why deception and violence are everywhere. This is the reason why people cry over stray cats and hate their brothers. This is the reason why Hitler got the power, but Christ was executed as "blasphemer" and "rioter" by denunciation of clergy. This is the reason why the whole world is Sodom. That's why we have the Gospel about the Kingdom of God. Jehovah will put everything in order. He has anointed the king, Jesus Christ. The dead will rise and we will meet our loved ones again! :-)

I think you will find this movie is a good representation of what happened in Operation Market Garden and it is generally regarded as one of the finest WW2 war movies. And for your information the Germans eventually won this battle.

No. they were not lol

They were good soldiers but this happened close the same.Victor Grabener used the same tactic as before worked in normandy: a fast attack against the enemy. But the brits are waited them with more stronger force than Grabener tought, they let the first few armored cars cross and than opened fire, 70 ss men died there Grabener too.

@@MrAdamF Thank you 🙂
