Revisiting The Locations Of Operation Market Garden 

Anyone who has ever visited Arnhem and Oosterbeek and Eindhoven and the places where the battle happened, knows how moving it is to imagine the terrible death and suffering that took place there in 1944. The incredible courage, heroism, and sacrifice of those who fought and died to give us the freedoms we enjoy today, must never be forgotten. The people of Holland will always keep their memory alive.

My Grandfather was Crew Chief on a C-47 "The Yvette of Boston" for 46 Group IX Troop Carrier Command. He flew 4 missions during the operation.

Thank-you so much much for this excellent little documentary. My uncle, Pte. Hugh C. Matthews, a radio operator of the 3rd Battalion, was shot in the foot near the bridge while out and about bringing wounded colleagues to safety. His chap he shared his radio with, Jim Ward, wrote that Hugh had crashed into his chute on the way down. Hugh was taken prisoner (Stalag IV D, REI 113) and gangrene eventually got his foot. He died in hospital in Wittenberg, Germany in January 1945, aged 22. May he and his fellow soldiers never be forgotten.

Thank you for this, my uncle always felt so guilty about the mess that was left in Arnhem, and for the fact that we lost and left the wonderful Dutch civilians to the Germans. After the war, he said about the first rememberance, the British tried to do it quietly as they didn't expect the Dutch to welcome them. But it moved him to tears every time he thought of the wonderful welcome they still got form the Dutch.

I 'm living in these cities for most part of my life. I have always had a weak spot for these Airbornes and often visit the graveyard to show my respect.

Visited the museum last June, very moving. This documentary is in of itself now an historical artifact as to how the museum was prevously laid out.

As Brit, big thanks to the Dutch. lovely people. Massive love from England. x

Greetings from Denmark 🇩🇰, Thank you for keeping the memory alive.

Very well done indeed, gotta say I love that MB of yours, I have a 1943 gun jeep, anyways an uncle of mine, SGM Ray Davis, all airborne, all 3 wars, WW2, KOREAN War and Vietnam was first in 82d., Sicily and Salerno then 101 D Day, Holland, the bulge then into Germany. He made 98 then passed away, humble, quite, loved his gardening and yardwork, never told anyone no, he inspired me to join the service, I saw him in his Class As, look the fruit salad, hash marks and overseas stripes but it was his jumps boots, high gloss. Thank you for what you do in keeping him alive along with all the others and family members. Because of you they'll not ever die.

Here on Arnhem for the 75th anniversary, and I FOUND THE TREE at 31.00. Made my weekend!

My mother, Jantje Brink, lived in Wolfheze. She was 17 years old in 1944. She was working at the school for the blind on September 17, 1944. I love having a more visual depiction of all the things she has shared with all of our family. My Uncle was the town clerk of Oosterbeek for many years.

Angelique Krüger from TV Gelderland (and freelance chairman of the day) made a terrific documentary. Cool the way she drives this old military Jeep from the war. The Renkum area is well known to me. Born and grown up in Oosterbeek I've heard many stories about the war from my parents and grandparents. The road at the Westerbouwing is well known to me, as school-going child I've cycled this hill a lot. Oosterbeek Laag is a very beautiful area to recreate, a lot of history going on there. I've moved from the municipality of Renkum, but I will always love my birthplace and do pay respect to our liberators, because they gave us our contemporary freedom. Lest we never forget...

For all those who are interested, I highly recommend the Antony Beevor book on the "Battle of Arnhem." "A Bridge Too Far" is all very well, but the Beevor book is more recent, represents a lot of additional research, and has a lot of detail that the Ryan book doesn't have. And Beevor tells the story very well. And it pays a lot of attention to the horrors that the civilians went through.

Thank You. We Will Remember Them.

I remember touring the battlefield in 1979 on summer vacay (we were stationed in Bonn at the time). Awesome.

Thank you for this documentary. I had visited the area together with the museum a few years ago. However I have only just discovered that the film can be viewed here on RU-vid. So I first watched the film and then came here to enjoy this documentary.

hi fantastic video, I love theirs is the glory, a great film and a great tribute to the brave soldiers british , polish and the brave dutch civilians who fought and died in that desperate battle. very interesting to see the places where it was film and I love the stories from the young boys who were there when it was beening filmed exspecially the story about the young boy playing football near the minefield , well done great video

The Land Rover @ 9:24 makes a nice counterpoint to the Jeep.

i stay a night in oosterbek in the early 90s lovely place. Also visited arnhiem a couple of times.

Very well done! Enjoyed it immensely, thank you!

great film love that it has English sub tiles, i would love to own that jeep.

thanks enjoyed greatly well done!

Excellent little documentary. Thanks for posting.

A wonderful tribute. 🙏

Thanks for that. Very interesting!

Very Nice Documentary ,Thank you .

I was over in Arnhem in July for a look at the bridge .My old mum told me the story of my old uncle Duncan who was a Scottish paratrooper .He jumped and got stuck in a tree .She said it wasn't actually a very big tree . He slashed his hand open on the way in .He explained to her that the machine gun bullets were breaking branches off around him and he was absolutely terrified and it was nothing like the glorified Hollywood movies.

Fantastic video, I once met the late Henry Venes, 1st Airborne Recce Squadron,in London, thank-you

Excellent presentation by a very charming and attractive young lady. There were a lot of 'Par's" that expressed remorse at the carnage and damage done to the city of Arnhem and it was very magnanimous of the Dutch people to forgive the disaster. One has to love the 'cloggies':;)

My father was there in 44. p. i. a. t. In South staffs

i just returned from Arnhem, saw the movie, Theirs is the Glory and thought this was excellent. Cute Dutch girl and willys jeep, what's not to like?

I very much enjoyed watching this documentary, well made and very interesting. I was going to visit Arnhem, this year . I guess, it'll be 2021 because of "Covid-19". Thanks for the subtitles in English..... pretty woman, by the way.

Wow nicely done!

Very nice documentary!

Goed gedaan deze docu, geen stomme fouten zoals je weleen ziet. En die meid in de Jeep doet het ook leuk.

glad meg ryan is still getting work

Very interesting - thank you

THANK YOU! 🇬🇧🙏🏻🇱🇺😌

Fantastic lovely Dutch people. They suffered greatly.

Thank you!

Well done!

I took a walking tour of the area 29 and 30 years after the fact. The 4-Days March around Nijmegan. Thirty-five kilometers a day. First year in a small tent, next year in a pension. I should have found a Dutch girl to marry. Alas. I should visit again. Seventy seven years since the battle, now. I can cheer the Marchers on. Eat the food. Tour the sights.

Superb.

Narrator is amazing!

Thnx voor deze video o/

I think I’m in love with the presenter.

This film would be impossible today. Someone that age wouldn’t know how to use a clutch

Dank u wel

Cool video.....!!

Bad luck and bad weather were the not too good factors for operation Market Garden. Sad! and I hope these brave soldiers are in paradise with Mr Jesucrist. wh

gaaf man!! waauw!.. waar kun je die plaatsen opzoeken? bijv de huizen waar iets is gebeurd in ww2?

nice video,,,,

nice presentation,i got also few jeeps (42 gpw),so lets go for a ride any time you wont

fantastic thank you, can anyone help out on a question please, my grandad was a paratrooper Sgt Austin Ronald Francis, he is buried in the Oosterbeek war cemetery. we were told he was taken mortally wounded to the Hartenstein hotel but no where can i trace this being used for nursing wounded as it was used as headquarters. can anyone throw some light on this please?

im curious about that steering wheel on the jeep. i restore ww2 vehicles and never saw one.

Snotneus translated as pitiful urchins. Yes street urchins zijn straat jongens.

Listen to the other side: a lot of Dutch people collaborated with the Germans and gave informations to the tried and tested SS-troops near Arnhem. Therefore Market Garden became a disaster...

Who us the narrator?

Is that old thing street legal?

Funk me up baby !!!!

Cumbersome camera compared to the Germans

Lovely woman

Who else was really worried when they heard that porno music at the beginning?

Ajb niet Engels !

i'd be pissed if i was farmer ,owner of those future crops you're destroying :))

17:09 Dafuq?! British troops driving American trucks and a captured German Panzer?

Nice looking woman...jus sayin
