My dad was an American glider pilot, he made 2 runs during Market-Garden, to Eindhoven and Nijmegen, he supported the river crossing with a bazooka, got taken out by a mortar, my mother pulled shrapnel wire out of him for 30 years...
That's a horrible story, heads off to your dad one of the real heroes and the best generation.
9:50 That is a Panther D, complete with drum cupola and "letter box" bow MG slit. An old soldier at this point in the war.
is it not an vk 3002?
my uncle was a british paratrooper known as red devils he was at market garden, his best friend landed on a mine and was blown to pieces just in front of my uncle when my uncle passed away a few years back his ashes were taken to rest with his friends in the netherlands and is cared for by those wonderful dutch folk...
That is a really heartbreaking story Moonbear, Hats off to your uncle.
thankyou..
Walt Schmidt every commander made their mistakes. market garden was his. I mean look at all the cock-ups Patton made. admittedly it was a dangerous plan but everyone thought the ground forces would meet the paratroops quickly but they didn't. either way monty was arguably one of the best tacticians of WW2 whichever way you look at it so to call him a clown is unfair.
Walt Schmidt what about that time Patton launched a ridiculous attack on a POW camp to try and rescue a relative? that sounds like a mistake to me. and he only engaged more units because the US army was the largest allied force in the west. but engaging lots of enemies doesn't make you a great commander, it makes you no more than a busy one.
Walt Schmidt absolutely perfect, have a lovely Christmas.
2:45 Every single landing knocked the wind right out of these lads, they're that heavily laden with ammo, food, water, and all the rest they hit the deck like a sack of spuds.
My other mothers dad survived this. I was a young boy at my mum's best friend house and he was around. I remember as a nice gentle old man. RIP Mr Cameron.
All those lives and equipment lost just to satisfy Montgomery's ego.
Monty expected to roll right over a routed mob, but unfortunately he gave Von Rundstedt time to stabilize the front.
was not Monty's plan ,he planned comet which was shelved and then Brereton got it re hashed it and called it market garden and if Gavin of the 82nd had followed orders MG would have been a total success
There was so many casualties on the landing ground, market garden was such a waste of men and materials.
The landing grounds were pretty quiet if you compare them to normandy.
Market Garden...a military disaster on a large scale. Amazing videos.
I had a British paratroopers helmet for a while- I ruined it by trying to restore it. I was a kid in the 70s, I got hold of one I could get hold of another…..NOT. Thin cork and very thin plywood- you’d get more protection from your beret. I think they were a recognition thing.
I hope the crews of the crashing C47s got out- it seems, at times, we had an over abundance of the brave.
hi my grandfather was at arnhem with the 1st airlanding anti tank with 17 pounders d troop he was in a hamilcar glider from tarrant ruston warrant officer norman gentles i always look for him just to see him one time would be great god bless you all boys
The Hamilcar was a thing of beauty! Good to know your grandfather made it there and back.
0:41 to 1:02 > just TWO parachutes can be seen to escape the nose-diving Dakota.....meaning that approx 20 men (paras, aircrew, despatchers) are fully aware that, in a few terrifying seconds aboard that doomed aircraft, they will die. Sitting here in our safe living spaces, we simply cannot conceive such absolute raw fear.
Such men as these must NEVER be allowed to fade into history, another footnote in another long ago war.
9:55 > Here's another brave man, taking out an enemy tank (Mk V Panther?) with a PIAT from ten yards. TEN!
+NEVER FORGET!+
Well the PIAT scene is most certainly staged.The roll (thanks for sharing) shows the Panther dragged to the spot.Furthermore the white smoke looks a bit Hollywood style.But makes no difference as these scenes happened when no PK guy where around to catch on film. And don't get me wrong, I fully share your vivid pointing out.
@@jerichotrompete5313 It's a scene from the 1946 movie, "Theirs is the Glory," featuring the best collection of authentic equipment and actor/soldiers you are ever likely to see.
Well good "news". Nearly all survived. Those parachutes are white meaning these are crew parachutes, US paratroops jumped with camouflaged parachutes . The paratroopers had jumped first crew would always jump last. As far as I remember the pilot was killed. He kept the aircraft in the air long enough for nearly all to jump. One crew member was killed as he jumped to late. This aircraft is known.
Chris Bell 59 not necessarily. There’s a good chance that whatever the cargo on the Dakota had already been offloaded. Let’s hope so.
I Have to correct myself a bit, mixing up a similar filmed crash. This crash was filmed on the 19th. This aircraft towed a Waco glider. possibly the aircraft of lt Harrison 435thGroup. The crew chief did not make it out. A wittness sergeant of the field artillery helped to drag them to safety. But the pilot and co-pilot ran back under rifle fire to retrieve the parachute log book/cards, so they could thank the people who had packed them! The aircraft almost killed a glider pilot,Fl.off Dale Oliver 73rdsqdr,434th group, who was on the ground. He ran to take cover looked up and saw the aircraf tinverted boring down right on top of him. He dropped on the ground. The aircraft crashed about him. The vertical tail fin and tail were above him and he managed to crawl out underneath the wreck. (from the book Operation Market-Garden then and now)
The German soldier of the Wehrmacht even though they were outgunned and outnumbered remained a resilient and resolute fighting force.
The Volksgrenadier era though short lived saw a very deadly and tenacious enemy. Even with poor leadership and no air superiority, they inflicted astonishing numbers of casualties on the Allies given their circumstances.
@Mike Taylor they were outgunned and outnumbered, Maybe you think Germany was fighting only option market garden! Don’t forget the British empire and while you at don’t forget how Britain gots empire, by means of military aggression
@Mike Taylor ok so while Germany was fighting 40k like you say, don’t forget Germany was also fight Russia and the British empire, and the US. Deceiving by omission.
Honestly, I don't think it was NOOB outfit at Arnherm, more like two seasoned SS Panzer Divisions taking a rest from the Eastern Front. Those paratroopers were mauled by Veteran Divisions of the SS . Still not all of them were killed or captured, some 2000 turn tail and legged it out of there. The War was truly over for the Paras by then.
Your stupid there was an SS Panzer division there. With tiger 1, tiger 2 stuggs and other tank. Against britisch paratrooper.
Monty conceived, designed, planned, and commanded Market Garden. It was all his. Bradley and Patton were opposed to the plan and are on record as such.
Wrong. Yes, it was his concept, but it was never planned by him. Being an airborne operation, the tactical planning was done by Brereton and Browning.
Monty may have been a good commander but he was PUTZ as a person
@The Famous ECCLES!. - Yes he did. You are correct. In fact, he publicly stated that he "insisted upon it". Of course, Ike didn't know what a shit job of Intel and Planning Monty did at that time.
Monty should have been sacked, he sucked.
@@garyrunnalls7714 the man who planned overlord sucked..give your head a wobble you silly merchant banker
Was and always will be the largest Airborne operation in history. It was a noble idea wish it had worked.
Even the allies realized "Market Garden" as a big failure and an unnecessary loss of troops...
@John Costello The allied considered weak and tired German forces. They were wrong. There were tried and tested SS-fighters on the other side. No chance for the poor paratroopers...
@@9traktor British amour was stuck on that one single road aswell
They didn't know the terrain, the forest, the weather, the flooded rhine area and all the other citcumstances.. I live there, I know how muddy and wet it is in winter .. must have been very tough to get through, nearly impossible
Upvoted before I noted how relatively few destroyed tanks I was seeing. Great footage nevertheless.
At present time we take image for granted. We should know the names of those who filmed these footages. Hats off.
My father John Verney should have been among those in the 1st British Airborne Division dropped at Arnhem in Operation Market Garden on or after 17 September 1944, but went down with malaria just before and couldn't go. Had he not had malaria, he would most likely have been killed and I wouldn't exist. Providence. Allied forces suffered more casualties in Market Garden than in the mammoth invasion of Normandy. Most historians agree that in the twenty four hours period of D-Day, June 6, 1944, total Allied losses reached an estimated 10,000-12,000. In the nine days of Market Garden combined losses - airborne and ground forces - killed, wounded and missing amounted to more than 17,000. British casualties were the highest: 13,226. Urquhart’s 1st British Airborne Division was almost completely destroyed. My father had recovered sufficiently from his malaria by 24 September to fly in a Dakota (the plane we see nose diving to the ground in this footage) to Briare, on the Loire, south of Paris, to visit Paddy Mayne's SAS HQ near St Amand. A full account of his remarkable life will be in Guy Singer's biography Coffee with the Dustmen, publication expected next year.
one of my favorite subjects, well done. Heartbreaking watching those planes at the start.
Thank you for your comment.
God bless these brave soldiers. On both sides.
They killed each other how the God bless them ?
Norrin Radd One side wanted to rule the world. Does God bless those with such ruthless intentions?
@@jorgejohnson451 Wanted to rule the world. 😂 🤣
Did they teach you that at school?
Norrin Radd Yes. That was what the Third Reich was all about. Did you not know that? Duh. Well, now you do.
@@jorgejohnson451 Ähhm. Nein.
What a waste of high quality troops if successful Montgomery thought it just b a cake walk into the rural of Germany industrial heart but by that time they moved alot of their production underground by that stage
1:50- i did not realize how low the paratroopers jumped from ......!
80% of Allied forces were destroyed by a couple of SS divisions. The German general in charge of defense (Bittrich) I think he was a Sturmbannfuehrer offered German field hospitals and supplies to Allied wounded. He was thrown in prison after the war for that and held for three years. The Allies could not make the charges stick. All Bittrich did what any soldier would do which is carry out orders.
This is true footage. It means a lot to capture documentary footage in the middle of an actual battle.
I saw a clip or two from Theirs is the Glory, a movie made just after the war using original combatants of the British Army, toward the end. Both are of German Tigers being blown up.
I really really enjoyed the video! Thanks a lot for making!
Thank you for your comment.
This mission could have work, the allys thought the germans were in a bad position and had not enough reinforcements but they were wrong.
One bad single road slowed the British amour down
Great footage of market garden that very few have ever saw before.Thanks for the footage of very brave cameramen in the middle of combat.
Bernhard Montgomerys failed try to shorten the war. Paratroopers jumping down on the panzer regiment resting there, bad idea all together. A year later Mongomery was the big hero when he rescued Denmark from german occupation, and nobody talked about operation market garden then, dead men dont talk. ..............................war
Monty sucked
R.I.P. German Soldaten...
lol, R. I.P. 1-st airborne british division. This operation failed
THE SMELL OF DEATH MUST HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR MANY MONTHS
Wonderful video panzerpicture.Amazing views from the US 101 division landed.I love to see the Panther tank and the Kingtiger at the end.The americans took it that Panther...wow.I love it.😉
Glad you like it bro and thank you for your comment!!
It is hard seeing a man die at 10:24. R.I.P. soldier.
Indeed Hellmut
wow ya look at the way he fell sniper?
Only acting - scene from 'Theirs Is The Glory' as is all footage from 9:53 onwards.
No, actually he does not see the tanks barrel as it appears and hits it hard enough with his head to be forced to the ground watch closely please..
At 2:33 , on the far left side of the screen it almost looks like someone's chute didn't deploy.
Most excellent collection..thank you!
Costa Rica Nature Photography thank you for your watching.
I live in that area, its amazing that you still can see, what happend there so long ago.
Both side are heroes...may they rest in peace..amen.
Very impressive footage. At 5:43 on the right, thats some kind of modified UE carrier right?
It's a rare Loyd Carrier.
Panzer Picture aah lloyd right
They all Died and risked their lives so then their next generations could be generationally social psychologically conditioned into corporatized modern Pavlovian Helots. Australia is dying dramatically since, both ecologically and socially due to being controlled by scumbag Bri Tish educated moron pommies
How many of Britain's finest died to try and inflate Monty's ego? One would have been too many. Damned shame of an operation. Home for Christmas?
Sad what happend over there ,but nice video! Thanks for sharing!
It is to be commended that Monty wanted to end the war in Europe by Christmas of 1944. Lord knows, our troops wanted to get the damn war over and get home. When you really study Market Garden, it has so many flaws and losses were way too high. I love the Brits, I really do. They are tough and they don't fuck around. I love how calm and gentlemanly they carry themselves. I'm not taking sides when it comes to Monty and Patton. The supply lines were stretched too far and the Germans were withdrawing back into Germany in the east. If Ike would've not caved in with Monty and Mr. Churchill, perhaps our Logistics could have had the late autumn and the winter to reset. This could've prevented the Battle of the Bulge and certainly saved lives in Market Garden. I have the benefit of hindsight because thousands of Allied Troops fought and died for me and for everyone who loves their Freedom. No matter the outcome; the British Paratroopers in Arnhem showed why they are to be feared and respected. Thank God for all of them.
2:30 there's a guy to the left of the screen falling without parachute!
Maybe but could also be something close to the camera like a leaf
It happened a lot. One of my uncles was taken Prisoner in Italy but his comrades had been sent to Crete . The Nazis invaded using paratroops , totally out gunning them , so they all ended up POW's too. The Germans seemed to have more success with the 'chutes.
Reading the book and then watching the movie "A Bridge Too Far" I was amazed at the courage and resilience the British Red Devils parachute division showed while holding off German infantry and tanks. Especially Colonel Frosts' men at Arnhem. It was truly a tragic waste of good men by generals who disregarded intelligence from the Dutch underground and even their own aerial reconnaissance photos that showed several concentrations of armored vehicles within the area of Market-Garden. Great video footage from the operation though it doesn't give the complete scope of what happened. Hats off to the men who served in that operation.
There are better books
Yep, Allied intel knew that the 9th SS Panzer Division Hohenstaufen and 10th SS Panzer Division Frundsburg were rebuilding in the Arnhem area. Monty ignored the intel, and his men and many Ami Paras died for it.
@@bobkohl6779 Well Bobby, spill!
A brilliant plan had it succeeded. The Dutch paid a very high price for helping the airborne and land elements. When they withdrew the Germans cut of all food and fuel to the occupied Holland, many Dutch civilians starved and froze to death.
I think the soundtrack to this clip is perfect.
An old guy who I worked with was in the RE with XXX Corps, he told me that the Germans were obviously ready and waiting by the time the Polish parachute brigade dropped and they were cut to pieces on the way down.
war is hell :'(
I did full combat tandem jumps in the gear we have now, back then, high respects for the paratroopers, some of the landing zones might have been cultivated soil but falling that fast, with
extra ammo plus your gear, those chutes did not have a size rating like they do now, it would not have mattered anyways, you will eat dirt for days. Then, if you survived the jump, get on your
feet, muster up and force march to the Arnhem over 10 km, with the thought of holding out for a few days. Intel says, "It's just a bunch of boys and old men." oh by the way,
intel took some aerial photos around the area, just a few tanks hiding in the trees, no need to worry.Jolly up, a few thousand of you lads will die, good thing the grass will be a lot greener next
year. This is why Montgomery was not part of operation Overlord.
I always that this operation name was particularly interesting because it's virtually the same in German.
Government incompetence at its worst. Why is there STILL efforts to turn MORE things over to the government??!!
At 1:47 I didn’t know they used B-24 Liberator Bombers... as a supply droper😺This is the first time I’ve seen😼
My old man was in a B-24 unit in England. Yes, they flew resupply here and Bastogne.
The King Tiger at the end isn't from the battle I think, It's from a movie made after the war where they used a King Tiger but burned it up during the making of the movie...
sumone sumwhere it was already there for the movie and they used it.
It was in the battle in fact.From 503rd pz abt i think.It was knocked out.
Theirs is the Glory is the movie. It was a Panther.
Sorry, the segment after the Panther.
A Proper Cuppa indeed a Panther and a Tiger II, the Panthers came from somewhere else, the Tiger II was already there on that spot, there are pictures of it even from before the movie.
Some takes are likely from crossing of the Rhine in the spring, not from Market Garden.
Miro Budzinski all are from market garden or after, non was filmed in Germany.
The music ! The bells ! The music!
Esmeralda I love you but the noise!.....
I can't take anymore!
BRITISH alone lost almost 8000 of its paratroopers from 10000 in operations market garden
What an unfortunate campaign. Was a unnecessary loss, feels like there were no gains.
those Brit Para's, the maroon machine, go boys!!!
Nothing more predictable than the ignorant comments on here. All from people who "educate" themselves via movies.
And video games!
Spot on Stan, TH-cam is full of trolls and keyboard warriors with a poor grasp of military history hiding behind screen aliases. A peek below is proof positive.
What's even worse is the fact that the video itself is mostly footage from a movie! The 1946 movie 'Theirs is the Glory'.. Though it was shot on the exact same locations as the real battle was fought at and some 200 soldiers returend to the former battlefield to reenact the battle they themselves fought in, it remains a movie.. to educate and tell the story of their plight, from the foxholes they dugg two years ealier and the ruined area which it still was (all the heavy material was dragged back in and placed; tanks, trucks, halftracks, fieldguns, jeeps, planes et cetera)
Well said
Great footage
Peace to the fallen!✊
Nice footage video thanks 👍are it's in D D day ?
This is Operation Market, the assault in the Rhine Crossing, 17/09/44.
That King Tiger at the end was very cool. What's that one SS division or two that were resting in the area ?
The 9. SS Panzer Division 'Frundsberg' and the 10. SS Panzer Division 'Hohenstaufen'
The SS Divisions inthe area didn't have a heck of a lot of tanks. However the delay inthe advance at Nijmegen gave the Germans time to redeploy tanks to the area in numbers.
WAS there not a DUTCH ss division defending the bridge??
No. There was a Dutch SS Battalion but not deployed in the area during Market Garden.
The 9th and 10th were not 'low quality' in the least. They were mostly German, well trained and exceptionally led. They were the divisions that held open the way out at the Falaise Pocket against the British and Americans. They just don't have the reputation as they only appeared in early '44. At that time, there probably weren't 4-5 divisions in the entire German army that were 'better'. Now your 'what was left of them' was right on. The two together amounted to about one full strength division. And you are right, the reinforcements, especially the armor compliments that arrived, were needed as the British 1st Airborne probably could have defeated just those two alone. The SS training battalion was 'low quality' but damn they put up an amazing fight.
jesus, people died in those transports when they went down in flames and crashed.
Solche Videos sollte man in jeder Schule zeigen damit die Kids wissen wie gut es ihnen geht
Geez, you'd think the Allies won?
This looks scary asf
Looks like a troopers chute didn't open or he is tangled up in it at 2:33 on the left side of the screen.
Amazing that light airborne troops could fight and hold off armoured units of the SS fir so long !!
nobby roberts tanks are really bad in urban settings and really vulnerable against Infantry.
The 1st Airborne division was well supplied with 32 anti tank guns, both 6 and 17 pounders plus 24 artillery howitzers who played a major role in the operation.
my grandfather killes in France 83 GI's befor he came back ,than he fight for the GI's in Japan and Somalia.
Market garden one of the greatest blunders by the arrogant montgommery. One big mess! .stupid arrogance
One would've thought that two World Wars, Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, and the Middle East, etc, etc, would've taught humankind a few lessons that would ease our propensity for destroying ourselves...oh, how quickly we forget.
2:34 someone who’s parachute didn’t open falling on left side of the screen
Good footage. Most airborne footage Ive seen has been American. My Father was 1st airborne artillery and Theres very little footage of our lads. Especially artillery. I guess we never filmed like the yanks.
00:09:56 , That doesnt seems like footage, but rather some movie , a bridge too far maybe
Caused more suffering for dutch civilians especially in winter of 1944
Should have stuck to broad front as
Eisenhower had planned!
What a strange mixture of footage
Is that someone's chute failing? 02:34, left side of screen..
Don't really know, could also be something else falling infront of the camera, like a leaf.
RIP to these heroes
my grandfather paratroper air bron 101 dead 2007 ...
if russia didn't attack east...
Hundreds of Polish paratroopers died because Monty screwed up the plan
Exactly. The poor Poles had been pleading to fight in support of the Warsaw uprising. I wonder how the war would have gone if they'd had their wish.
what is name of song in first 20sec... thx
not to believe ... if you see this movie, you can believe this operation was a success ...
The tragic operation, the Wehrmacht and the SS were still very strong. But what happened on the eastern front was many times worse and you Europeans are unlikely to ever understand it. The battle for Stalingrad, the battles for Rzhev, the three battles for Kharkov, the blockade of Leningrad, the battles for Sevastopol, the Battle of Kursk.
That footage at the end is not real, it's from a movie.
yep, thats right
Great but very sad video and I see some good film from Theirs is the Glory mad one year after when there were still German Tigers and Panthers still where they were knocked out and all the men in the movies were actual veterans of the battle!
The movie was accurate as it could be.
The last couple minutes are not real battle footage. It's from a post war british movie.
You're pretty much repeating what is said in the video.
Victory has many fathers defeat is an orphan
the clips of the panther and tiger2 are from a movie I can't remember the name. can you please tell me mate. it's got brave in the title and has a lot of the guys WHO actually fought there AND played themselves.. very cool and brilliant movie.
It's Theirs the Glory.
War is hell...
bad parachutes, people broke their bones.
Market garden Montys fiasco. He was such poor leader and planner.
Monty pretty much had nothing to do with the failure of this battle, he got called away far before it started and the people in charge pretty much ignored everything that came there way.
@@PanzerPicture poor planning caused major failure. Radios were not compatible. Each unit had different radio frequency. Drop zones were not researched enough. No rehearsal at all. Monty hides out so others get blame. It was his blunder alone.
@@michaelthomas7178 you can believe in popular fiction all you want, but Monty was called away from the mission long before it even started, and mayor facts were ignored by the people in charge of the operation, facts like the mayor amount of panzer units in the area.
Also the radio frequency and bulb problem is a myth, the radios didn't work because of the long distances they were used in this operation, not because of the so called frequency and bulb problem.
@@PanzerPicture thank you for allowing me to believe in my research.
@@michaelthomas7178 no problem, but especially the radios are interesting to look up.
A decision made by incompetent and pride of a guy cost dearly of many young life. Stupidity I call, a lesson for us years to come. People should take responsibility and consequences this guy Monty should had been taken off
the actual tactical planning was done by Brereton & Browning, not by Montgomery. It may have been his idea, but being an airborne operation, he had no part in the planning.
@Lee Shackelford and if you knew anything about the two operations , you'd know that the failure wasn't in the plan itself, but in was in the fact that one of the commanders failed to adhere to the plan, deciding to raise the priority of his LZ above that of taking his primary objective. Even the Germans actually thought it was a good plan, apart from not dropping all of the airborne assets on day 1, or at least doing a 2nd drop on day 1. I have studied this operation for years and have several texts on the subject so if you are really interested in learning more about it, I can happily recommend several reference texts. If not, then continue to shoot your mouth off and slander those that have actually bothered to learn - either way, I don't care.
@@sean640307 wasn’t it down to a single road aswell holding back the British armour
@@kierenboimufc5940 the issue of the single road is over stated. XXX Corps met with 82nd Airborne at 08:20 on the morning of the 19th, only to find that the 82nd hadn't taken their primary objective. Had 82nd done so, XXX Corps would have rolled right on through and into Arnhem in time to relieve Frost's men
@@sean640307 ok thanks mate 👍
'Time for a cup of tea chaps.'
We should all say may such pure insanity never happen again ....but our leaders are working on it ...but then the leaders and elite will be the ones with deep bunkers and good supplies for which their excuse is they must be protected in order to maintain the continuation of life for the survivors ....REALLY?
Canadian paratroopers are not even acknowledged for having participated.....
A total of thirty-two CANLOAN officers were made prisoners during the war, more than half of them during the fighting at Arnhem in September 1944. In fact, the greatest single concentration of the 673 CANLOAN officers was in the 1st Air-landing Brigade of the 1st Airborne Division, which boasted 47 Canadian officers on its rolls (23 serving in the 7th Battalion, The King’s Own Scottish Borderers, 13 in 2nd Battalion, The South Staffordshire Regiment, and 11 in the 1st Battalion, The Border Regiment.) Eight of the KOSB battalion’s 27 platoons were commanded by Canadians. Three Canadians also served in the parachute units of 1st Airborne Division, two with the 1st Battalion, The Parachute Regiment, and Lieutenant James McKenna who was killed with 11 Para on 22 September.
@Lee Shackelford Those are the loaned soldiers to beef up British units. The Canadian Engineers were instrumental in the evacuation because they used storm boats that the British chose not to use because they were noisy. These boats saved the majority of the men who were rescued. All I'm saying is it would at least be nice to get a passing mention because the contribution was more than a token footnote.
Didn't see too much Armour here tbh
meny of the footage is not market garden...no tanks in the airborne operation...
Never heard of Hells Highway.?
Nothing bigger that m22,dont fly....keep learning...
Think you need to pick up a book or watch a Bridge to far, 50% of that movie is tanks on Hells Highway.
@@PanzerPicture movie..
Over confidence really. If the Allies had more preparatory engineering equipment and forces, a conventional push would be more than sufficient to roll an already retreating enemy. Even if there were heavy Panzers and some veteran elite divisions, the air power, the artillery superiority and superior numbers needed to be used wisely and in tandem to dislodge tenacious resistance or hamper strong counter assaults from heavy tank battalions.
If I were commander, I'd never use elite paratroops with such a high disregard for their safety as there simply was no reason to send them into punishing kill zones with the backup so far away from them. Also the plan had almost a no contingent plan B or a plan C to mitigate issues on the way.
All in all it was a terrible, amateur plan and it behooves me to think how any commander actually didn't smell the BS in this concept of stretching out 3 Airborne divisions so far from the main vanguard. Unless fighting a war was a game of their own ego.
Is that a "Firefly"sporting a German cross at 10:13?
no, it's a Tiger II
