Reenactment of the airdrops at Arnhem in September 1944. Except that the 9th and 10th SS panzer divisions are not waiting for them (among others).

Commemoration and partial re-enactment of the failed Allied Operation Market Garden, 75 years later. Vintage arms and armor are there from all over the world as well as military and civilian remembrance and re-enactment bodies.

British General Bernard Montgomery was too clever by half and got a *lot* of Allied elite troops killed for nothing. The Dutch still remember the sacrifices made in an effort to liberate them.

One of most disastrous military operations of WW2. An absolute horror show for the Allies orchestrated by General Bernard Montgomery. Read Cornelius Ryan's book “A Bridge Too Far’’.

A bit young, are you? No insult, just thought this was common history, what with the movie and all.
