The Nijmegen bridge scene with Hardy Krüger and Robert Redford in A Bridge Too Far is iconic. Received two previously unpublished behind-the-scenes pics. The bunker is fake.👇#BridgeTooFar #RIPHardyKruger
In this clip, I love how Hollywood turns a historic defeat into a victory. because the "market garden" operation was a real fiasco for the allies. Holland will remain occupied until the German surrender in May 1945.
Hardy Krüger was a soldier in Hitler's army in 1945. He was only 16 years old. He was almost executed by the SS for refusing to shoot at an American squadron. He will be pardoned at the last minute by an officer who, seduced by his youthful beauty, will suspend the execution. H. Krüger, was a man of great humanity. R.i.p.
