Recording of Hitler's and Mannerheim's private conversation
These are the first eleven minutes of Hitler's and Mannerheim's private conversation, happened during a secret visit honoring Mannerheim's 75th birthday on 4 June 1942. As Hitler never allowed anyone to record him off-guard, this recording had to be done secretly.

One can understand his reaction to the damning details of the truce and trivializing tone implicit in the arbitrary time and date. It’s beyond sad that the leaders of that great generation in those momentous days weren’t able to do better . . . to develop healthy relationships with all the other leaders and find a way to lasting peace and prosperity for all mankind. It’s the leaders in media as well as government that bear the incredible burden to find a way to the truth and avoid catastrophes like these. Lesson learned??? Leaders matter bigly.

SECONDARY TASK Your Secondary task is to establish a sufficient bridgehead to enable the follow-up formations of 30 Corps to deploy North of the Neder Rihn (North Rhine). 3. THIRD TASK During your operations immediately after the landings of the first lift, you will do all in your power to destroy the flak in the area of your Drop Zones, Landing Zones and Arnhem to ensure the passage of your subsequent lifts. 4. JUNCTION POINTS (a) In order to preserve your southern bomb line, no attempt will be made to effect a junction with the 82nd U.S. Airborne Division to the South. (b) At the southernmost point you hold on the main axis of 30 Corps, whether North or South of the Neder Rijn, you will establish a liaison party who will organize the reception and pass through of the follow-up formations (most probably the Guards Armoured Division; this however, will be confirmed when known for certain). This liaison party will have full information of the enemy dispositions, your own, routes open, etc. The rank of the Officer in charge of the liaison party will be Lieutenant-Colonel or above. The time at which you are to expect junction with 30 Corps leading troops will be notified to you from Corps headquarters as soon as it is definitely known. This information may not be available to you until sometime after you have landed”. That is it. They did NOT have to take all 3 bridges, their instruction was to control one. One of the 3 battalions was meant to cross the rail-bridge and attack the main road bridge from the southern side in a classic 'coup de main' attack, but it was blown just before they got there.

    Interesting how 'new' history is blaming the 82nd Airborne for not seizing Nijmegen Bridge fast enough-and they totally exclude the fierce German resistance that the planners completely failed to take into consideration despite overwhelming reports from the Dutch Underground. Even if the objectives had been achieved the narrow corridor would have seen intense German counterattacks to spring the trap shut which was Eisenhower's chief worry with the entire operation. Eisenhower did this mainly to let the British feel like they had an element of control in the scheme of things and if it worked would have given the British public something to crow about with their favorite general. Patton's drive was completely shuttered for this fiasco. As usual, hindsight is 20/20.

      I think because the liberals are afraid of the fact that it challenges the near centuries old narrative that Hitler invaded on false pretenses, here he makes it clear that it was preemptive, he was certain that Stalin was planning on betraying the Nazis and pushing West, and so Hitler attacked when he did to try and knock out the soviets before they could build their forces up to pose a serious threat. Unfortunately they failed because of the vague battle plans during Barbarossa; had they concentrated their forces and went straight south, they could have captured the oil fields in the Caucasus in 41,then knocked the soviets out by 42'. Instead they went for Moscow, and went as far to seige Leningrad, which was basically pointless. The war was very mismanaged, and in some ways I wish they had won. But the anisemitism and the racism is the biggest thing for me. Can't get behind an ideology that promotes that stuff no matter how right they were about everything else.

The extra 36 hour delay created by the 82nd, meant a bridgehead over the Rhine was precluded, as the *two day time window in total* given to the Germans was far too long. The British paras did their part in securing a crossing over its assigned waterway, the Rhine. The two US para units *failed* in theirs. XXX Corps hardly put a foot wrong.

    *US General Brereton is a liar!* He trying to deflect from his incompetence. XXX Corps were not too slow. He was responsible for the bad plan. Montgomery never planned or was involved in the execution of Market Garden, only proposing the concept. Eisenhower approved, under resourcing the operation. Two American Air Force Generals, Brereton, in command of the First Allied Airborne Army, and Williams, USAAF, in charge of air transportation, were the prime culprits of why the Market Garden plan was flawed. The operation was planned by mainly Americans. Nevertheless, despite their failings, the operation failed to be a 100% success by a whisker. It was Brereton and Williams who: ♦ Ignored nearly all the Airborne tactics and doctrine that had been established, practised and performed in operations in Sicily, Italy and Normandy; ♦ Who decided that there would be drops spread over three days, losing all surprise, defeating the object of para jumps; ♦ Who decided that there would only be one airlift on the first day, despite there being multiple airlifts on day one on Operation Dragoon weeks previously. The RAF offered to man the US planes for a second lift but were refused; ♦ Who rejected the glider coup-de-main on the bridges that had been so successful on D-Day on the Pegasus bridge and which had been agreed to on the previously planned Operation Comet; ♦ Who chose the drop and landing zones so far from bridges - RAF were partly to blame here by agreeing; ♦ Who would not allow the ground attack fighters to attack the Germans while the escort fighters were protecting the transports and thereby not hindering the German reinforcements. Ground attack fighters were devastating in Normandy, yet rarely seen at Market Garden; ♦ Who rejected drops south of the Wilhelmina Canal that would prevent the capture of the bridges at Son, Best and Eindhoven by the 101st because of "possible flak". The job of the Airborne was to capture the bridges with as Brereton said 'thunderclap surprise'. Only one bridge, at Grave, was planned and executed using Airborne tactics of surprise, speed and aggression - land as close to the objectives as possible and attack the bridge simultaneously from both ends. General Gavin of the 82nd decided to lower the priority of the biggest road bridge in Europe, the Nijmegen road bridge, going against orders compromising the operation. To compound his error, lack of judgement or refusal to carry out an order, he totally ignored the adjacent Nijmegen rail bridge, which the Germans had installed wooden planks between the rails for light vehicles to move on. At the time of the landings by the 82nd there were only 19 Germans guarding both bridges, inclduding the crew of a 88mm gun, with a few old training troops in the town. There were no bridge defences such as ditches and barbed wire. This has been confirmed by German archives. Gavin sent only two companies of the 508 seven hours after they had landed to capture the bridges. They arrived at 2200, eight hours after being ready to march. Company A moved towards the bridge while Company B got lost. In the interim eight hours the 19 guards had been replaced by Kampfgruppe Henke with 750 men and then a brigade of the 10th SS Panzer Division (infantry) setting up shop in the park adjacent to the south side of the road bridge at 1900 hours, five hours after the jump. The Germans occupied the town, which was good defensive territory being rubble in the centre as the USAAF had previously bombed the town in March 1944 by mistake thinking they were in Germany, killing 800. An easy taking of the bridge had now passed. XXX Corps Guards Division's aim was to reach Arnhem at 15.00 on D-Day+2. They arrived at Nijmegen in the morning of D-Day+2, with only 7 miles to go to Arnhem. XXX Corps expecting to cross the road bridge found it in German hands with Germans fighting 82nd men at the edge of the town, seeing something seriously had gone wrong. The 82nd had not captured either of the bridges or cleared out the Germans from Nijmegen town itself. XXX Corps then had to seize both bridges themselves and clear the Germans from the town, using some 82nd men in clearing the town, seizing the bridge themselves. What you see in the film 'A Bridge Too Far' is fiction. It was the Grenadier Guards tanks and the Irish Guards infantry who seized the Nijmegen road bridge. If the 82nd had seized the road bridge, immediately on landing, as ordered, XXX Corp's Guards Division would have reached Arnhem well within time relieving the British 1st Airborne men on the north side of Arnhem bridge. The German archives state quite clearly that failure to capture the Nijmegen bridge on d-day was the reason for XXX Corps not making a bridgehead north of the Rhine. A clear failure by General Gavin. Even the US Official War record confirms this. The Market (air) part of Market Garden failed. The Garden (ground) part was a success. XXX Corps hardly put a foot wrong.

      Planning "The essential plan (Comet) was not dead, however, and on the 10th September 1944, Montgomery personally briefed Browning for Operation Market Garden." "Browning, having asked Montgomery how long the 1st Airborne would have to hold Arnhem and being told two days, replied that they could hold it for four." "Browning denied their (1st AB) request for a larger allocation as the swift progress of the 2nd Army was judged to be of the greatest importance, and so the 101st Airborne Division, closest to the relieving troops, had priority on aircraft, followed by the 82nd Airborne Division and finally the 1st Airborne." "If Browning was at fault then it is because he made no effort to mention the possibility of this threat to the 1st Airborne Division, whom he had briefed to expect nothing more than a brigade group of infantry supported by a small number of tanks during the later phases of the battle. Suggestions of the presence of these two panzer divisions nevertheless filtered through, but more emphatic information may have resulted in them taking additional anti-tank equipment and adopting tactics better suited to dealing with heavy opposition." Pegasus Archive Browning, on line

    I would like to refer many of you to the “rebuild” of a wooden sailboat of any age whereby if even one single piece of the original boat is incorporated into the rebuilding, it is then classified as a “Rebuild”. A good example of that might be a vessel of over 100 yrs of age name “TALLY HO” which falls into this category, currently being rebuilt in Port Townsend, Washington State, USA, by a young fellow from Bristol England. Google it & follow his remarkable skills of craftsmanship in bringing this old boat back to life. It does have a few parts from the original, but much of it is brand new construction.

    General Urquhart pushed for dropping the troops closer to the bridge. However, the RAF Troop Carrier had the final say. Mainly due to the presence of heavy flak around Arnhem as reported by RAF night bombers, and the proximity to the Nijmegen drop zones causing potential traffic jam. The potential drop zones around the bridge were also reported to be marshy or too built up for safe landing, although Urquhart knew his troopers high spirits would not have worried such. Regardless, RAF dictated that landing anywhere around Arnhem was no-go. Hence the site was chosen to be the west of Arnhem. Also, due to the lack of transport aircraft, the whole 1st Airborne division had to be transported to Arnhem in 2 airlifts in 2 days, with a 3rd airlift to transport the Polish Brigade. It made the situation worse, as the Day 1 would only have the 1st Para Brigade to take the bridge, while the glider Brigade would have to secure the drop zones for the 2nd drop. But priority must be given to the 101st and 82nd to keep the road open. As Urquhart put in his book, "we have no choice."

      @johnburns4017 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Brereton and Williams of the USAAF decided on the drop zones. Hollingsworth of the RAF agreed with them. The RAF wanted two lifts on the first day, offering to service the planes and man them for the second lift. Williams refused.

There are still a few intact plane in sheds, but those to will be a thing of the past. There all known. What's left are the Forgotten Wrecks. Even if you do find a complete air frame. You'll still need to replace most of the skin and many braces due to Corrosion after 70/80 years. Every "Restoration" is a "Rebuild", but Not Every Rebuild is a Restoration.

      ​ @Nick Tasy @michael wilson I am french, so not a native german speaker, but lived and worked in Germany during 8 years, so with my knowledge of german language I can tell this recording is the only one I know on TH-cam. All the other translated recording of the Hitler Mannerheim meeting I find start at 10:09 min of this one. Hitler says stuff like 00:01 "Vor Jahren habe ich einmal den Gedanken nach Finnland zu kommen und zwar ganz möglich in [???] und nicht nur das Land kennenzulernen und auch vor allem , um da zu haben, an den grosse Olympiche (fest ?) Spiele, die ich glaubte in Helsinki stattfinden wurde. Ich habe weniger Jahre worher die finnische Kämpfer in Berlin bewundert [...] 2:08 "ich hatte kein anderes Lebensziel als ein ganz grosses soziales Program durchzuführen und auch ein grosses ergänzendes kultureles Programm. Dieses Programm habe ich mich gewidmet" which I can translate (in my broken english) with "Since many years I had the idea to travel to Finnland and if possible to [???] not only to discover the country but especially to attend the big olympics game that I thought would take place in Helsinki. (1940's olympic game was planned to take place in Tokyo, but because of the war in Asia were moved to Helsinki, and because of the war in Europe they have been finally canceled, so Hitler's quote makes sens) Some years ago I did admire finnish fighters in Berlin (The whole world supported Finnland in its war agains USSR in 1939) 2:08 " I did not have any other goal in my life but to implement a big social and an additional cultural program. I dedicated myself to implement this program" That is quite a job to translate all for a non native speaker, maybe I keep on later but I would rather ask a german to do it^^ I don't know why the beginning of the speech is so hard to find and not translated, maybe what Hitler says is not nazi enough?
