A Bridge Too Far

en
00:00:32 Is hard to remember now,
00:00:40 The Second World War was in its
00:00:46 German troops
00:00:50 D-day changed all that.
00:00:55 D-day: June 6, 1944,
00:01:00 under their commander
00:01:03 landed on the northern coast of France.
00:01:06 By July they were able to begin their own
00:01:14 Everywhere the Germans retreated.
00:01:19 But with the Allied victories
00:01:22 Supplies still had to be driven from
00:01:26 and became dangerously short.
00:01:29 The Allied advance
00:01:34 Another problem
00:01:38 his two most famous generals,
00:01:41 and Montgomery in the north,
00:01:46 Their long-standing rivalry
00:01:50 There simply were
00:01:54 Each wanted to be the one
00:01:57 Each wanted to beat the other to Berlin.
00:02:01 In September, 1944, Montgomery
00:02:06 given the codename Market Garden.
00:02:09 Eisenhower, under great pressure
00:02:13 finally sided with Montgomery,
00:02:15 and Operation Market Garden
00:02:20 The plan, like so many plans
00:02:25 was meant to end
00:02:29 and bring the boys back home.
00:05:41 ARNHEM. HOLLAND. SEPTEMBER 1944
00:06:15 What is that noise?
00:06:21 - Can I look out?
00:06:31 The Germans have collapsed.
00:06:37 Then the war is over?
00:06:41 Soon.
00:06:43 But what is that noise?
00:06:48 Panic.
00:07:33 GERMAN WESTERN FRONT. ARMY H.Q.
00:08:00 You may begin.
00:08:01 May I first be permitted to say,
00:08:06 how pleased we are,
00:08:09 that you have been reappointed
00:08:12 Speeches are for victory celebrations.
00:08:14 Les get to the point. Air power?
00:08:17 Air power, Field Marshal?
00:08:19 Briefly, please.
00:08:22 - Air power is minimal.
00:08:25 Also minimal.
00:08:26 Tanks... Troops... Replacements?
00:08:29 - Minimal.
00:08:41 Nonexistent.
00:08:45 What do you think we should do?
00:08:49 End the war, you fools.
00:08:52 - Why in the world are you laughing?
00:08:55 We have such confidence in you.
00:08:57 Everyone knows you have
00:09:01 I'm still young. Give me time.
00:09:08 The first thing we must do
00:09:11 is to turn this rabble
00:09:19 Anything at all on when
00:09:24 They seem to have paused in Belgium.
00:09:27 Most likely supply problems.
00:09:30 Otherwise we can't imagine why.
00:09:34 I think is because we're retreating
00:09:39 faster than they can advance.
00:10:13 How many vehicles in the past hour?
00:10:15 Fifty-four.
00:10:18 And for the same hour yesterday?
00:10:21 Ninety-eight.
00:10:23 Last week your mother and I
00:10:28 Already the panic has stopped.
00:10:31 It isn't over yet
00:10:34 - War takes time.
00:10:38 I was nine when they got here.
00:10:40 Next month I'll be 14.
00:10:48 Father, the Allies will come?
00:10:53 But when?
00:10:56 GENERAL BROWNING'S H. Q... ENGLAND
00:11:00 I've just got back to England
00:11:03 where I had a meeting this morning
00:11:07 There was an earlier one with General
00:11:13 that when the field marshal's plan
00:11:16 we should be able to end the war
00:11:23 Actually, the plan's really very simple.
00:11:27 We're going to fly 35,000 men 300 miles
00:11:34 Ill be the largest
00:11:40 Quite frankly, this kind of thing's
00:11:46 - Where's this all gonna take place?
00:11:49 - And when?
00:11:53 Right.
00:11:57 Ground forces: 30 corps
00:12:00 20,000 vehicles. And this, as you know,
00:12:05 We're going to lay a carpet,
00:12:07 of airborne troops,
00:12:11 We shall seize the bridges -
00:12:15 with thunderclap surprise,
00:12:20 Now, first of all,
00:12:27 You take and hold
00:12:32 General Gavin, with your 82nd,
00:12:36 you get Nijmegen.
00:12:40 And, Roy, you get the prize: Arnhem.
00:12:44 Arnhem Bridge.
00:12:46 - And you hold it.
00:12:50 Well, Monty assures me that
00:12:56 two days.
00:12:58 - 63 miles in two days.
00:13:01 I'm sorry. General Sosabowski.
00:13:05 You go with your Polish brigade
00:13:11 Roy,
00:13:13 when you've secured your bridge
00:13:17 we can turn east right into
00:13:23 Once we control their factories, there's
00:13:30 - And we go next Sunday.
00:13:34 Why not? The sooner we go, the better.
00:13:41 Is something troubling you,
00:13:46 - I've said nothing.
00:13:55 General Browning, I am a Pole,
00:14:00 considered by some to be smart.
00:14:03 If that is so, it makes me
00:14:09 Minority groups
00:14:12 Really? I should have thought the
00:14:17 I am thrilled that your great field marshal
00:14:20 I promise you
00:14:23 - When it works.
00:14:27 Thank you.
00:14:30 Well, now les get down to the details.
00:14:36 From which direction will their
00:14:39 Montgomery or Patton?
00:14:43 - Model, what do you think?
00:14:46 He is their best.
00:14:48 Patton will lead the assault.
00:14:51 I would prefer Montgomery
00:14:54 but even Eisenhower isn't that stupid.
00:15:00 Bittrich's panzer troops need some rest
00:15:03 if they're to stop Patton.
00:15:07 We should pull them back
00:15:11 Safe, quiet, out of the way. But where?
00:15:15 Arnhem?
00:15:21 Arnhem.
00:15:24 U.S. 82nd AIRBORNE DIVISION H. Q... ENGLAND
00:15:31 - Why the emergency meeting?
00:15:35 - How big are the little changes?
00:15:40 They can't get us all in. Too many men,
00:15:44 Is going to take three days to get the
00:15:49 - How about us?
00:15:53 - We have nothing to worry about.
00:15:57 - Has it ever been tried before?
00:16:01 - You think there's a reason for that?
00:16:05 - What do you think?
00:16:08 We have to go in daylight.
00:16:12 - Half a mile away. I'll settle for that.
00:16:17 - Is there anything else?
00:16:21 I forgot to tell you something?
00:16:23 Only that the Germans first tried to take
00:16:28 and got slaughtered.
00:16:35 Go back!
00:16:39 Go back!
00:16:42 Do as I say!
00:16:44 But my friend lives down the road.
00:16:49 Is my birthday
00:16:53 Please let me through.
00:17:02 All right. Be quick.
00:17:16 Are you sure about the colours?
00:17:18 I'm sure, Father. Believe me.
00:17:23 Model?
00:17:26 A field marshal in Arnhem? Why?
00:17:30 The British will have an explanation.
00:17:32 Did you pass on
00:17:34 Of course. But Model is
00:17:39 You're a good boy and a wonderful spy.
00:17:42 Now go and help
00:17:48 Sir!
00:17:50 - Yes, Fuller.
00:17:54 Dutch underground reports from Arnhem.
00:17:56 - Established their strength?
00:17:59 - Have they been identified?
00:18:02 - So is the same rumours as before.
00:18:06 Why? The general consensus
00:18:09 will consist entirely
00:18:12 I don't really know why, sir. Perhaps
00:18:17 I just want to be sure our airborne carpet
00:18:23 I know everybody thinks
00:18:26 But I would like to order
00:18:30 If thas all right with you, sir.
00:18:34 Very well.
00:18:37 All right, Wilson.
00:18:39 Very well.
00:18:40 - Fuller, Fuller.
00:18:43 I wouldn't be too concerned
00:18:47 You happen to be somewhat brighter than
00:19:04 We'll do our utmost
00:19:08 But, please, keep in mind the one factor
00:19:13 It may seem improbable to you, but we
00:19:18 - I am aware of that.
00:19:21 when he dreamed up this operation.
00:19:24 I need drop zones as close as possible
00:19:29 can't have my chaps
00:19:32 Now, this looks inviting here.
00:19:36 Sorry, sir. Our reports indicate that
00:19:41 The nose digs in on touchdown, the thing
00:19:46 All right. What about there?
00:19:48 No, afraid not, sir. After the drop
00:19:53 we run into a whole lot of flak and
00:19:58 Presumably you're intending
00:20:02 Ooh, yes. Hopefully, sir.
00:20:04 But, as I was saying, we cannot afford to
00:20:11 My problem is
00:20:15 I need drop zones I can hold and defend.
00:20:18 The rest of my division
00:20:21 and General Sosabowski's with a third.
00:20:23 I understand, sir. But we really think
00:20:27 Is large enough for your needs,
00:20:33 - Where the hell is it?
00:20:37 It should be... excuse me, sir.
00:20:39 It would be about here, I think.
00:20:45 - That could be ten miles from the bridge.
00:20:49 If you'd like to have a look at this.
00:20:53 You see, the terrain is easy to traverse.
00:20:57 All our information substantiates that.
00:21:02 Yes, sir?
00:21:04 Just making sure whose side you're on.
00:21:57 Now, a drop zone
00:22:01 - Might be thought to present problems.
00:22:05 I'm afraid he does.
00:22:09 Thas more than I know. Why should
00:22:12 ...cannot under any stretch
00:22:17 The gliders will bring in
00:22:21 fitted with twin Vickers machine guns.
00:22:24 Now, the instant we land, they will
00:22:29 - Until the other battalions arrive on foot.
00:22:35 - Most certainly.
00:22:38 My headquarters will be
00:22:41 Remember we're all totally interlocked.
00:22:46 101 st pass 30 corps on to 82nd.
00:22:49 82nd pass them on to British Airborne.
00:22:52 If any one group fails,
00:22:58 All we need now
00:23:01 Thank you, gentlemen, very much.
00:23:05 Only the weather can stop us now.
00:23:08 Weather! Chrystus!
00:23:14 General Browning, what of the Germans?
00:23:18 that Arnhem is so crucial to their safety,
00:23:23 The few troops in the area
00:23:28 They're not front-line calibre.
00:23:33 Have more faith
00:23:36 He's done pretty well for us
00:23:39 I will tell you the extent of my faith.
00:23:43 I'm thinking of asking for a letter stating
00:23:48 in case my men are massacred.
00:23:52 I see.
00:23:55 Yes, I do see.
00:24:02 Do you wish such a letter?
00:24:05 No.
00:24:08 - No, of course not.
00:24:12 what difference would it make?
00:24:24 - You mean you don't believe me, sir?
00:24:27 All right, boys. NAAFI's up.
00:24:32 - God Almighty!
00:24:36 The radios aren't strong enough to carry
00:24:41 - You don't have any cigarettes, do you?
00:24:44 They're perfectly OK. I've used them
00:24:48 You've told me that
00:24:50 Well, I didn't have any problems
00:24:54 Yes, I know. You see,
00:24:58 what has me more than a bit disturbed,
00:25:00 is that Holland being half underwater
00:25:07 Tends to have a lot more trees.
00:25:09 - Any biscuits?
00:25:13 - Tell the general, if you're so certain.
00:25:19 - What if they really don't work?
00:25:22 The general will be
00:25:25 He won't have to make contact
00:25:30 Well... if anyone rocks the boat,
00:25:34 is not gonna be me.
00:25:40 The regular projector chap's at lunch.
00:25:44 You're doing splendidly, Fuller.
00:25:48 Damn!
00:25:50 Nearly there, sir.
00:25:56 There.
00:25:58 Splendid view of the Dutch countryside.
00:26:01 Wait a moment, sir. Is a lot clearer
00:26:07 Now.
00:26:12 - Next.
00:26:41 Yes. I shouldn't worry about them.
00:26:47 - But, sir, you see, they are tanks.
00:26:53 - Still got guns.
00:26:57 But, sir... if they weren't serviceable,
00:27:04 - Normal routine, Fuller.
00:27:09 I've read them!
00:27:14 Now, look here. There have been
00:27:17 from this sortie and all the others.
00:27:22 - Just these, sir.
00:27:25 the biggest operation mounted since
00:27:37 - No, sir.
00:27:39 have been cancelled in the last
00:27:43 But this time the party's on.
00:27:50 Is that fully understood?
00:27:53 Yes, sir.
00:27:56 GENERAL HORROCKS' XXX CORPS. H.Q.
00:27:59 LEOPOLDSBURG ON THE BELGIAN-DUTCH BORDER
00:28:18 Thank you, Waddy.
00:28:22 Thank you, gentlemen!
00:28:25 Do sit down, gentlemen. Please sit down.
00:28:31 Look after these for me, will you?
00:28:38 Thank you, gentlemen. Thank you.
00:28:43 Gentlemen, this is a story
00:28:47 And mightily bored they'll be!
00:28:51 The plan is called
00:28:54 Market is the airborne element
00:28:59 Now, this is our position
00:29:04 Tomorrow three airborne divisions
00:29:08 35,000 men taking off from 24 airfields in
00:29:15 The American 101 st here,
00:29:20 The American 82nd here,
00:29:25 and our own 1 st Airborne boys
00:29:31 64 miles behind enemy lines.
00:29:37 Now, their job is to take and hold
00:29:44 Our job is to punch a hole
00:29:50 and then drive like hell up this road,
00:29:54 linking up with each airborne division
00:29:59 Speed is the vital factor.
00:30:04 The plan is to reach Eindhoven
00:30:07 and Arnhem in two to three days.
00:30:11 That, gentlemen, is the prize.
00:30:14 The bridge over the Rhine.
00:30:20 Kickoff will be at 1435 hours
00:30:23 The Irish Guards and colonel Vandeleur
00:30:27 - Christ. Not us again.
00:30:30 Delighted, sir. Truly delighted.
00:30:34 I've selected you to lead us, not only due
00:30:39 but also because, in the unlikely event
00:30:44 they will assume from your attire
00:30:48 and immediately send you on your way.
00:30:54 Now, maintaining the speed of our
00:30:59 as is a single highway.
00:31:01 But, no matter what, we must reach
00:31:07 Now, gentlemen,
00:31:11 the easiest party
00:31:14 But I still wouldn't miss it for the world.
00:31:18 I like to think of this as one of those
00:31:24 The paratroops lacking substantial
00:31:29 These are the besieged homesteaders.
00:31:32 The Germans,
00:31:36 And 30 corps, we, my friends,
00:31:39 are the cavalry on the way to the rescue!
00:31:47 COLONEL FROST'S QUARTERS
00:31:50 BRITISH 1st AIRBORNE DIVISION. ENGLAND
00:32:00 Oh. Do you want me
00:32:03 - No, thank you, Wicks. I'll carry it.
00:32:08 - You haven't forgotten my golf clubs?
00:32:13 What about...?
00:32:15 Sorry, sir?
00:32:17 What about my dinner jacket?
00:32:20 Are you sure you'll be needing that, sir?
00:32:23 Well, les hope so.
00:32:28 U.S. 101st AIRBORNE DIVISION. ENGLAND
00:32:31 This is chock full of vitamins.
00:32:33 Here, Eddie. Have a little strength.
00:32:41 Hey, where'd you put that?
00:32:43 - Dammit, Eddie. Give it back.
00:32:47 There you are.
00:32:50 I wish you hadn't done that.
00:32:55 You see, my problem is I'm not totally
00:32:59 So don't die.
00:33:03 - That garbage isn't gonna keep you alive.
00:33:06 What is? Well...
00:33:09 - Not gettin' shot.
00:33:13 Nothin' - For sure.
00:33:19 You will.
00:33:22 - I will what?
00:33:25 You tell me I won't die.
00:33:28 - All right. You won't die.
00:33:32 I want you to guarantee me I won't die.
00:33:41 I guarantee you.
00:33:56 come on.
00:33:59 Les get some food in ya. Come on.
00:34:02 I wasn't kidding.
00:34:08 Hey, Eddie! Were you kidding?
00:34:13 Major Fuller.
00:34:17 My name is Sims. Mind a bit of company?
00:34:21 Of course not, sir.
00:34:25 Busy times.
00:34:28 You must be exhausted.
00:34:33 Are you? Exhausted?
00:34:36 Who isn't?
00:34:39 We've been getting reports
00:34:43 They're worried about you.
00:34:49 We all need rest.
00:34:55 Is it because I rocked the boat?
00:34:59 I'm a doctor.
00:35:05 I think perhaps you ought to take
00:35:10 But why?
00:35:14 I'm not ill or anything.
00:35:19 I haven't done anything wrong.
00:35:21 No, of course not. You're just a little tired.
00:35:27 Yes.
00:35:29 I am tired.
00:35:36 I think perhaps we might go.
00:35:41 can't it be stopped?
00:35:44 No.
00:35:47 I don't want to be left behind. Please.
00:35:52 Is out of my hands, laddie.
00:36:07 I didn't want to miss the party.
00:37:45 come on. Move it, buddy.
00:37:59 - Come on! Move yourselves!
00:38:08 Home, sweet home.
00:38:13 When you think we only had seven days
00:38:18 Bloody miracle. It took six months
00:38:22 And that was only half as big as this.
00:38:26 - How ïyou feel?
00:38:28 I'll feel even better when we're in Holland.
00:38:32 A few months back
00:38:35 I told you I had never jumped
00:38:38 - Well, you did me a big favour.
00:38:42 You said "Roy, you're far too old
00:38:47 Did I? What was the favour?
00:38:49 Well, I didn't quite
00:38:55 - But I'm prone to airsickness.
00:39:01 We'll soon find out, won't we?
00:42:43 Soon be home, Harry.
00:42:52 - Better than the desert, eh, sir?
00:42:56 Easier than walking, sir.
00:43:01 If you say so, Hancock.
00:43:17 Yeah. Fine, sir.
00:43:22 The artillery should be able to clear
00:43:26 We'll move as soon as
00:43:29 - Yes, thas absolutely fine.
00:43:34 But this isn't going to be the pushover
00:43:38 No, I didn't think so.
00:43:41 Morning, Alan! Your sleeping beauties
00:43:46 Is it true that the Germans
00:43:49 Yes. They don't intend
00:43:53 Hello, Bob! Hope thas not
00:43:57 And I'm still worried about
00:44:01 But there's no alternative. Morning, Tom!
00:44:05 So I've decided
00:44:08 Nobody will be allowed to put any vehicle
00:44:13 - Including me?
00:44:15 You too! Especially you, Joe.
00:44:19 Morning, Derek! Glad to see
00:44:29 Time, Joe. Thas the killer.
00:44:32 We can't afford to drop behind schedule.
00:44:36 So, for Goïs sake,
00:44:49 Good God Almighty.
00:44:52 Thas just the 101 st. The other
00:44:58 H-hour in 90 minutes.
00:45:00 - I'd better be going, sir.
00:45:04 Any last-minute changes, Bob?
00:45:06 If we run into difficulty, we call in
00:45:10 - First class! And good luck, Joe!
00:45:14 - Do you think you'll be able to manage it?
00:46:25 Ta.
00:46:28 I told you
00:46:48 What the hell's that?
00:46:50 Is flak.
00:46:54 GENERAL BITTRICH'S H.Q.
00:46:56 SOUTH OF ARNHEM
00:46:58 General Bittrich!
00:47:00 In here, Matthias.
00:47:16 Fantastic, isn't it?
00:47:19 Just once to have
00:47:30 - Red on!
00:50:15 If there's no more opposition than this
00:50:35 B company to me!
00:50:37 A company over there!
00:50:49 FIELD MARSHAL MODEL'S H.Q.
00:50:58 Excuse the interruption,
00:51:01 British paratroopers have landed...
00:51:05 three kilometres from here.
00:51:08 Why should they do that?
00:51:11 There is nothing important here.
00:51:17 Me! I am important.
00:51:21 They must all be coming
00:51:23 call my chauffeur and car.
00:51:26 Evacuate the headquarters.
00:51:29 And don't forget my cigars.
00:51:53 Oh, God!
00:52:09 General, are you all right?
00:52:12 Yeah.
00:52:46 OK, you guys. Come on.
00:53:02 - This is it, Jim.
00:53:09 You OK?
00:53:10 Right. Les go.
00:53:15 Then keep trying.
00:53:18 There must be someone there!
00:53:23 My apologies.
00:53:26 They say thousands of troops
00:53:28 - Yes, west of Arnhem.
00:53:32 I can't get through to his headquarters.
00:53:35 A strong force has landed
00:53:38 Nijmegen? They're after the bridge.
00:53:44 That doesn't matter.
00:53:48 Perhaps they've landed
00:53:52 Yes, you'd like that, wouldn't you?
00:53:56 I'll take care of Arnhem.
00:53:58 You get to Nijmegen as fast as you can.
00:54:01 Take anything thall move...
00:54:03 every man that can walk,
00:54:09 No. Field Marshal Model.
00:54:14 Nothing must cross it. Is that clear?
00:54:17 You must hold that bridge
00:54:20 - Understood?
00:54:24 - Ryan and Ross, come with me!
00:54:34 - How far away is headquarters?
00:55:04 Brigadier Lathbury's just left, sir.
00:55:08 Good. Thank you, Baker. Any news
00:55:13 - Is unconfirmed...
00:55:15 considering how few gliders
00:55:21 A lot of the special Jeeps failed to arrive.
00:55:23 Those that did have been
00:55:26 So no one's going to get to
00:55:37 They must be from the lunatic asylum, sir.
00:55:42 They escaped
00:55:50 Do you think
00:56:08 All guns commence firing!
00:56:23 Get moving.
00:56:25 Driver advance.
00:58:30 Message received. Thank you. Out.
00:59:40 Start the purple!
00:59:43 Start the purple!
00:59:46 Take cover!
01:00:01 - Smoke loaded!
01:01:46 come on. Get the wounded down the line.
01:01:52 Get that wreck off the road.
01:02:01 Joe, how the hell...?
01:02:05 How the hell do they expect us
01:02:09 You don't know the worst.
01:02:11 - This bit we're on now...
01:02:16 Is the wide part.
01:03:28 Peter-general's coming in.
01:03:30 - How's it going now?
01:03:33 We haven't made contact with
01:03:38 - So no one knows we've arrived safely.
01:03:44 What about those VHF sets?
01:03:46 It appears the sets have been delivered
01:03:51 - So they're quite useless?
01:03:57 Do Brigadier Lathbury and colonel Frost
01:04:01 Not as far as we know, sir. We're unable
01:04:09 Not a very satisfactory
01:04:12 - No, sir.
01:04:14 - Is perfectly good equipment.
01:04:18 before we have
01:04:32 Sir.
01:04:37 Hancock, I've got lunatics
01:04:41 my original plan has been scuppered
01:04:46 my communications
01:04:50 Do you really believe that any of that
01:04:56 Wouldn't hurt, sir.
01:05:04 GENERAL BITTRICH'S FORMER H.Q.
01:05:07 NOW TAKEN OVER BY FIELD MARSHAL MODEL
01:05:14 Forgive me for returning, Field Marshal.
01:05:16 I must press for permission,
01:05:17 if it becomes necessary,
01:05:20 to blow up the bridges
01:05:25 That is out of the question.
01:05:27 Never. Is that clear?
01:05:30 We need them for our counterattack.
01:05:32 counterattack? With what?
01:05:34 Paratroopers cannot fight long.
01:05:37 Isolated they are lost.
01:05:40 I have spoken to Von Rundstedt.
01:05:42 All reinforcements come to us first.
01:05:46 Every hour we get stronger
01:05:49 - But if we blow the bridges...
01:05:54 Do you really think
01:05:56 they would have landed
01:06:00 Is ridiculous.
01:06:06 Thank you for the tea.
01:06:59 Our lightning-like assault on Arnhem
01:07:05 I've an aversion to apples. I'm so sorry.
01:07:08 I'm sure the Germans will be surprised.
01:07:11 - Are there many of you?
01:07:15 Thank you for coming. Thank you!
01:07:18 - This isn't a victory parade, you know.
01:07:23 I will enjoy the moment when
01:07:27 It will be. Things couldn't be going better.
01:07:31 Yes, I know.
01:07:35 U.S. 101st AIRBORNE AREA
01:07:38 THE SON BRIDGE
01:08:27 Jesus christ!
01:08:50 Stay down!
01:09:09 Shit!
01:09:14 - There's still no contact, sir.
01:09:19 Brigadier Lathbury
01:09:21 I'm sure we'll have them fixed
01:09:31 can you get a message
01:09:34 Yes, sir. We just got word
01:09:37 They captured the Grave Bridge intact!
01:09:40 Terrific. Except 30th corps ain't about to
01:09:45 until the goddamn Son Bridge is fixed!
01:09:48 Tell our British cousins
01:09:51 I'll meet 'em in Eindhoven.
01:09:53 Tell those schmucks to do this right
01:09:59 - And be sure to say "please".
01:10:11 Joe! I make it just under six miles
01:10:15 We won't make it tonight.
01:10:19 Well, I hope to God
01:10:23 Giles, remember what the general said.
01:10:27 We're the cavalry. It would be bad form
01:10:34 In the nick of time would do nicely!
01:10:39 These plans should have
01:10:42 They're top secret.
01:10:43 And now we have all we need -
01:10:46 units, defence plans, objectives
01:10:50 and the schedule for further drops.
01:10:53 I have prepared Nijmegen Bridge
01:10:55 if I blow it up tonight.
01:10:58 This Operation Market Garden must fail.
01:11:01 Why do all my generals
01:11:06 come, Ludwig. We'll have dinner.
01:11:10 Dinner?
01:11:12 But what about these plans?
01:11:14 These plans? They are false.
01:11:18 Just a trick.
01:11:20 White wine or red?
01:11:28 We're still getting nothing
01:11:32 Thank you, cole.
01:11:35 - I hope Johnny's meeting less resistance.
01:11:39 We're blocked ahead. There's more
01:11:44 I must see for myself how he's doing.
01:11:48 I can't estimate yet. Dutch underground
01:11:52 I'm just not sure how much they know.
01:12:12 - What about Brown?
01:12:16 christ Almighty! They've got round behind
01:12:22 - Gerald, I've got to get back to HQ.
01:12:25 If we can reach them,
01:12:28 We can get ourselves organised and try
01:12:34 - Right.
01:13:33 come on, lads! Get a move on!
01:13:36 Something just occurred to me.
01:13:40 Is all very well for the country, but
01:13:45 come on.
01:13:53 I'm awfully sorry, but I'm afraid we're
01:13:58 All right, chaps. We're in here. Come on.
01:14:02 - And Dick.
01:14:04 Take your men and occupy that house.
01:14:08 Right, sir. Sergeant.
01:14:10 Hello, Dog charlie Fox...
01:14:17 Rip down those curtains. Pile all this
01:14:22 Hello, Dog charlie Fox.
01:14:26 What is your position? Over.
01:14:30 There's nothing, sir.
01:14:34 Tried the other battalions?
01:14:36 Any luck?
01:14:39 - Keep trying.
01:14:43 - Order them out.
01:14:45 - This is my house.
01:14:48 Tomorrow?
01:14:50 Yes, Mother.
01:15:10 Shall we have a go
01:15:14 Having a go is hardly
01:15:19 But you'll let us try, sir?
01:16:20 - Down! Take cover!
01:16:28 Smoke!
01:16:37 Right! Come on, lads!
01:16:46 come on! Keep going!
01:17:13 Pull back!
01:17:23 - Are you all right?
01:17:25 We'll deal with them later.
01:17:28 When it gets dark.
01:17:50 - Made it so far, Doddsy, eh?
01:18:07 Hey, corp.
01:18:12 Hey, corp. I said you'd better hit that slit
01:18:17 - I heard you, boyo.
01:18:21 After you, corp.
01:18:40 come on. Les get on with it.
01:18:51 Now!
01:18:54 Now we're in trouble!
01:18:57 You knocked my arm, you clumsy
01:19:05 We've hit an ammunition dump!
01:19:40 Fool's courage.
01:20:14 She says you are much too noisy.
01:20:16 She does realise
01:20:19 She has never liked noise.
01:20:23 - Colonel Frost! They're coming, sir.
01:20:31 - Many of them?
01:20:34 can only hear them at the moment.
00:00:50 command. Wait for the command.
00:01:02 Over there, Whitney! Look after that man!
00:01:05 Open fire! Fire!
00:02:12 Jesus!
00:03:09 cease firing!
00:03:13 cease firing!
00:03:27 Sorry, ma'am.
00:03:30 Whitney, try and rustle up
00:03:35 I'm going to check up with cornish.
00:03:38 Get him patched up, will you, doc?
00:03:44 - Wicks.
00:03:47 Right, off you go.
00:04:01 Get that bloody stretcher inside!
00:04:07 Here we go.
00:04:16 Good morning, sir.
00:04:23 Hello, Dick. Is all right. Sit down.
00:04:25 - You all right?
00:04:29 - How are things?
00:04:31 Good. What is bad, I'm afraid, is this.
00:04:35 - Careful.
00:04:39 The Germans hold the south. But now
00:04:43 - Including the church tower.
00:04:47 Yes. Something like that.
00:04:50 - Er, now, what else?
00:04:52 I was a bit surprised to find
00:05:04 Surely you didn't believe
00:05:07 About the enemy being made up of...
00:05:15 I'll have to risk it.
00:05:19 - Sergeant, how is it?
00:05:22 Enemy strength is increasing
00:05:26 Thank you, Sergeant.
00:05:27 Is imperative that I get back to HQ
00:05:31 If is all right with you, cleminson
00:06:25 End house! Bottom window, sir!
00:06:31 - Cleminson, get over here!
00:06:35 Hang on, Gerald.
00:06:41 In here.
00:06:47 can't you move your legs?
00:06:49 - No.
00:06:53 - How?
00:06:56 We can take him to the hospital.
00:07:03 You go. He will be fine.
00:07:06 - Go, sir.
00:07:42 Go up.
00:08:07 They're certainly at the back.
00:08:17 We're surrounded, sir.
00:08:20 Yes. Quite.
00:08:28 I was rather expecting to see you again,
00:08:37 The Polish drop has been cancelled
00:08:41 I expect the fog
00:08:44 There are aircraft
00:08:47 Explain why my men cannot be
00:08:49 and then fly to Arnhem.
00:08:52 Thas a reasonable question.
00:08:54 I don't want to bother you with
00:08:58 but the fact is, you see,
00:09:03 Of course it moves. Where?
00:09:06 Well, thas very difficult to say, General.
00:09:11 You think you've got it and then
00:09:17 Won't you please sit down?
00:09:20 What I'm trying to say is even if
00:09:24 where just now the sun is shining,
00:09:27 the chances are that by the time we get
00:09:33 - So we simply have to wait.
00:09:36 I think that puts it rather well.
00:09:42 EINDHOVEN. 48 MILES FROM ARNHEM
00:10:23 Hey, you! Are you Vandeleur?
00:10:27 - Yes.
00:10:28 - How do you do?
00:10:33 - Have you ever been liberated?
00:10:36 - Yes, that counts.
00:10:40 When you refer to "Bailey crap",
00:10:42 I take it you mean that glorious
00:10:46 which is the envy of the civilised world.
00:10:49 The trucks are down there somewhere.
00:10:52 How you get them through this crowd
00:10:54 No problem. I got a side road pegged out
00:10:59 - Oh, really?
00:11:02 - But what the hell?
00:11:17 U.S. 82nd H. Q... SOUTH OF NIJMEGEN
00:11:26 - Where the hell have you been?
00:11:29 We can't take the bridge. The Germans
00:11:33 - Don't they want us to get across?
00:11:37 Here. You can see on this map.
00:11:41 Every street leading to the bridge
00:11:46 The Dutch underground people say
00:11:50 They could be right.
00:11:57 Where's the captain?
00:11:59 Dead.
00:12:01 I didn't ask you how he was.
00:17:13 - Sir.
00:17:14 - I'd like you to look at my captain.
00:17:29 What in the name of hell do you...?
00:17:33 - You told me to put him down, sir.
00:17:38 - If you don't look at him, he's gonna die.
00:17:45 - Id mean a lot if you'd check him out.
00:17:58 Would you look at him, please, sir?
00:18:02 Right now.
00:18:04 Or I'll blow your fucking head off.
00:18:14 Right now.
00:18:22 - I can give him a quick examination.
00:18:38 Son of a bitch.
00:18:41 Orderly!
00:19:42 Well, I got the bullet out of his skull.
00:19:45 - He's gonna live though, right?
00:19:55 You should turn me in now, sir.
00:19:59 - That was a court-martial offence.
00:20:02 Hope to hell it was worth it.
00:20:06 - I guess only time will tell on that, sir.
00:20:10 Regardless of my personal preference.
00:20:14 Once word gets out you can behave any
00:20:20 So you're gonna have to be arrested.
00:20:24 - Yes, sir. Colonel.
00:20:29 - Dohun. Eddie Dohun.
00:20:32 and threatened to kill me
00:20:35 I want you to put him under arrest.
00:20:39 I want you to keep him there
00:20:42 - I'm not all that sure I understand.
00:20:48 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Like that, sir?
00:20:50 - Thank you, Lieutenant.
00:20:57 This is yours, I think.
00:21:00 It sure looks like mine.
00:21:06 You scared the shit out of me,
00:21:09 - You did fine, if it makes you feel better.
00:21:14 - Eddie.
00:21:16 You wouldn't really have killed me,
00:21:25 Thank you, sir.
00:21:44 Right! Les haul a little ass! Go!
00:21:47 Go! Go!
00:22:16 Move it! Come on, soldier.
00:22:38 come on, boys! Use your muscles!
00:22:41 Heave!
00:22:42 come on! Heave!
00:22:45 Quickly!
00:22:50 come on! Move yourselves!
00:22:54 We haven't got all day!
00:23:02 come on! Push!
00:23:23 All together! Lift!
00:23:28 come on, soldier! Pound it!
00:24:07 - How much longer now?
00:24:11 Shit!
00:24:13 come on, boys!
00:24:47 - Hey, soldier! Get over here!
00:24:50 - And pull on this rope.
00:24:52 Didn't you ever build a Bailey bridge?
00:24:55 - No, sir.
00:25:10 clear the way! Clear!
00:25:13 clear!
00:25:20 - Roll it, fellas!
00:25:23 Les get moving again!
00:25:25 SON BRIDGE - 39 MILES FROM ARNHEM
00:25:51 Thanks, fellas!
00:25:59 - Whas wrong, sir?
00:26:22 - Lieutenant!
00:26:26 We'll be turning you over to the 82nd now.
00:26:32 Just be sure you keep your hand
00:27:04 GRAVE BRIDGE - 22 MILES FROM ARNHEM
00:27:26 They're here.
00:27:32 Is 30 corps! They're here, chaps!
00:27:41 You're late, you lazy bastards!
00:27:46 That was gracious of me, don't you think?
00:27:50 Take cover! Bring up the Piat!
00:27:55 Make sure is within range.
00:28:41 come on! You'll miss it!
00:29:13 Right, lads! Go, go, go!
00:29:28 corporal! I need a Jeep. Well done, laddie.
00:29:31 - We thought you were dead. They said...
00:29:35 HARTENSTEIN HOTEL
00:29:53 That was the general.
00:29:56 - Good morning, gentlemen.
00:29:59 carry on, thank you.
00:30:04 - Morning, sir.
00:30:06 Apologies for my enforced absence.
00:30:10 - Sir.
00:30:12 I'd like you to take over the brigade.
00:30:16 - Right away, sir.
00:30:20 - Did the rest of the division arrive safely?
00:30:24 It seems we've landed
00:30:27 Good God!
00:30:28 As you can imagine, is hard to stop
00:30:32 - Show me.
00:30:36 Johnny Frost has managed
00:30:39 But the Germans are driving to the river
00:30:44 I see. Now the entire division is here, we
00:30:49 - Sir.
00:30:52 Sosabowski's Polish brigade is due at 12.
00:30:55 If it arrives. Yesterday's airlift
00:30:59 The gliders bringing the equipment
00:31:02 - Now give me the good news.
00:31:05 We're more or less surrounded.
00:31:08 So far we're holding our own, but we're
00:31:14 - Aren't we getting our daily supply drop?
00:31:20 The trouble is, the Germans
00:31:24 - Don't our pilots know that?
00:31:27 - In heaven's name, why?
00:31:33 We still haven't been able to make contact
00:31:53 Fools!
00:31:55 This way!
00:32:12 - We're here!
00:32:19 Over here! Drop 'em over here!
00:32:23 What the hell are they doing?
00:32:26 They can see us, but they're under orders
00:32:31 For all they know, we could be Germans.
00:32:47 charles.
00:32:52 Poor bastard.
00:32:54 Oh, well. Maybe tomorrow.
00:33:11 Here.
00:33:14 Where's he going? The bloody fool!
00:33:19 He'll never make it.
00:33:26 come back!
00:33:35 come on, Ginger, mate. Come on!
00:33:43 He'll never lift it.
00:33:50 Bring it back, mate! Come on!
00:33:56 come on!
00:34:03 Run, laddie! Run!
00:34:12 Oh, Jesus christ!
00:34:21 NIJMEGEN BRIDGE
00:34:59 In here.
00:35:04 - Did you get any of that?
00:35:48 KATE TER HORST'S HOUSE OUTSIDE ARNHEM
00:35:51 Kate!
00:35:59 - Doctor.
00:36:01 May I introduce Mrs Ter Horst?
00:36:06 - Is your husband not returned yet?
00:36:11 He must be having difficulties
00:36:16 Well, in that case,
00:36:21 colonel Weaver has a request to make.
00:36:24 Well, what we've done is
00:36:29 more or less thumb-shaped,
00:36:33 Mrs Ter Horst speaks
00:36:37 Then you understand
00:36:41 until 30 corps reaches us.
00:36:43 But we have to make
00:36:47 The words come through. I don't know
00:36:52 We have the main hospital, of course,
00:36:57 Perhaps you understand that we have
00:37:09 Our house would seem suitable.
00:37:13 Is just for the slightly wounded.
00:37:18 I feel it will need a little more than that.
00:37:27 - We're wasting time. Come.
00:37:32 I will see you, colonel. I will come back.
00:37:43 Please sit. Come take this chair.
00:37:46 Here.
00:37:48 come over here.
00:37:52 Sit.
00:37:55 Let me help you.
00:38:08 Oh, colonel.
00:38:11 OK. Thank you.
00:38:16 All right?
00:38:24 Excuse me. Thank you.
00:38:27 Still in one piece, Dodds?
00:38:30 Good. All right, Potter?
00:38:34 Thas far enough!
00:38:42 Rather an interesting development, sir.
00:38:45 My general says there is no point
00:38:50 He is willing to discuss a surrender.
00:38:58 Tell him to go to hell.
00:39:01 We haven't the proper facilities
00:39:07 - What?
00:39:10 but we can't accept your surrender.
00:39:16 Was there anything else?
00:39:27 All right?
00:39:51 And now?
00:39:54 Flatten Arnhem.
00:41:40 - Any movement in Nijmegen?
00:41:43 - No way of blasting through?
00:41:46 There's God knows how many
00:41:48 - You mean is over, sir?
00:41:52 We've paid for that bridge and we're
00:41:57 Well, you've got it, Jimmy. The Grenadier
00:42:02 - Is that all right, Alex?
00:42:04 Is not just tanks. I need boats.
00:42:07 If 30 corps were American,
00:42:10 - Mike?
00:42:13 - Can you get them here by tonight?
00:42:17 We've got one road, 10-mile traffic jams
00:42:21 - I don't know quite what we can do...
00:42:26 Thank you, gentlemen. Thank you.
00:42:29 Now, look here. About these boats...
00:42:32 What is your opinion?
00:42:35 The general's a bit scratchy today,
00:42:39 When we dropped on Sunday,
00:42:52 - How many boats have we got, then?
00:43:11 Where's Major cook, soldier?
00:43:13 - I think over there, sir.
00:43:31 Julian, where the hell are you?
00:43:34 Here, sir.
00:43:41 We're going to take
00:43:44 - Whas the best way to take a bridge?
00:43:48 I'm sending two companies
00:43:51 I need a man with
00:43:56 Go on, sir.
00:43:57 He's gotta be tough enough to do it and
00:44:01 Plus one more thing.
00:44:07 Start getting ready.
00:44:16 What was all that about, Major?
00:44:18 Well, someone's
00:44:24 A real nightmare.
00:44:27 come on! Keep moving!
00:44:37 We got word from
00:44:40 Is not going well for the British. Their
00:44:44 Those that did are hanging on.
00:44:46 - And Urquhart?
00:44:49 The Germans have trapped his men
00:44:53 How long can he hold?
00:44:57 Where are those goddamn boats?
00:45:16 Just keep it clear! Right!
00:45:19 They're no further than we thought.
00:45:25 We're to make the crossing in daylight.
00:45:29 - Daylight?
00:45:31 By the time we're ready, ill be 0800.
00:45:35 Fine.
00:45:37 I'd like to wait and go tomorrow night,
00:45:42 Better by daylight.
00:45:45 Much.
00:45:53 - Any news of the boats?
00:45:56 No, thank you.
00:45:58 We're switching the start till nine,
00:46:01 You start laying smoke just before we go.
00:46:04 Fine, fine.
00:46:06 They're gonna get creamed. Your smoke
00:46:11 Don't worry. We'll cover you.
00:46:15 Please.
00:46:27 OK. Can I have your attention, please?
00:46:31 Our nine o'clock departure
00:46:35 So you can all have an extra hour's
00:46:39 Major, we got any more information
00:46:43 We're reliably informed that they float.
00:46:45 Outside of that, we don't know squat. Not
00:46:51 We are sure that the river's wide
00:46:55 As more cheery information comes
00:46:59 In the meantime, just think of this
00:47:05 Whas the matter? No sense of humour?
00:47:09 Goddamn it!
00:47:13 We go at noon.
00:47:17 - These lorries have priority, sir.
00:47:27 come on! Clear it off the road!
00:48:01 You men are probably wondering
00:48:07 I've reached a decision
00:48:12 I intend to go across like George
00:48:17 You guys can do the rowing.
00:48:27 Thas it! Move 'em out!
00:48:46 - What the...?
00:48:49 come on! Put it together!
00:49:21 What else can you see besides smoke?
00:49:23 Nothing yet, but they are
00:49:28 It will fail.
00:49:29 Of course it will fail, but...
00:49:32 what do we do if it doesn't?
00:49:35 I ask your permission
00:49:37 Out of the question.
00:49:41 I understand, Field Marshal.
00:49:44 They will not cross the river
00:49:49 Have all demolition charges
00:49:50 Yes, sir. Everything is wired and ready.
00:49:53 captain Krafft is standing by as ordered.
00:49:58 The bridge will not
00:50:02 As soon as the first
00:50:06 I'll blow it sky-high.
00:50:20 - Les get going!
00:50:42 When you get to the water, go on!
00:51:07 If you don't have an oar,
00:51:35 One... two.
00:51:46 The currens taking us down!
00:51:56 - Support fire ordered, sir.
00:52:02 Row!
00:52:21 Get down!
00:52:27 Go! Go! Go! Go!
00:52:35 Hail Mary, full of grace.
00:52:38 Hail Mary, full of grace. Hail Mary...
00:52:44 Hail Mary, full of grace. Hail Mary...
00:53:19 We're drifting! Pull to your left!
00:53:26 come on! Keep rowing!
00:53:37 Stay down!
00:53:41 come on, boys!
00:53:52 Thy will be done.
00:53:55 Thy will be done.
00:54:06 come on! Les go!
00:54:27 Snipers!
00:54:39 Help me! Help me.
00:55:02 Go up the side!
00:55:16 - Can we make it through the tunnel?
00:55:21 - Up the bank!
00:55:36 cover.
00:55:47 come on.
00:56:20 come on! Schnell! Schnell!
00:56:33 Sergeant, take four across-draw fire.
00:56:38 Go!
00:56:47 - Go on.
00:57:10 Are you ready?
00:57:11 Yes, General.
00:57:29 Dammit!
00:58:21 My God, they're only
00:58:25 Who can stop them now?
00:58:29 No one.
00:59:03 Oh, hell.
00:59:04 Any chance, Whitney?
00:59:07 - Not unless we're relieved soon, sir.
00:59:11 - Try and get him down to the cellar.
00:59:39 Is working.
00:59:43 - Down below.
00:59:45 - Colonel Frost!
00:59:47 Up top!
00:59:49 Up top, sir!
00:59:52 - Is headquarters, sir. On the radio.
00:59:59 Sunray on set. Pass your message. Over.
01:00:03 - Whas your situation, Johnny? Over.
01:00:08 We're holding out.
01:00:12 We need reinforcements
01:00:16 I'm not sure if is a case of us
01:00:21 - Well, we'll just wait for 30 corps, then.
01:00:26 Very reassuring talking to you, sir.
01:00:31 I'm sorry, Johnny. Getting stuck on that
01:00:36 - Have you anything else for me?
01:00:40 - Over.
01:00:44 Good luck. Out.
01:00:53 - Sergeant Tomblin!
01:00:56 I'm coming over!
01:01:00 Sergeant Taylor!
01:01:13 I don't understand. Why aren't you
01:01:17 Those are British troops at Arnhem.
01:01:20 They're hurt-bad.
01:01:22 You're not gonna stop. Not now.
01:01:25 I'm sorry. We have our orders.
01:01:28 We busted our asses getting here. Half
01:01:33 and drink tea?
01:01:36 We're now facing a different situation.
01:01:38 We can't lead with tanks.
01:01:42 Our infantry are still fighting in Nijmegen.
01:01:52 Must you do everything by the book?
01:01:54 Our orders are to wait for the infantry.
01:01:58 I'm sorry, but there it is.
01:02:07 Sir.
01:02:11 Is Major carlyle, sir.
01:02:28 All right. I'm all right.
01:02:37 - Hello, Harry.
01:02:43 Things not so good, huh?
01:02:51 I've been meaning to ask you something
01:02:54 and I haven't because I know you were
01:03:00 and I wouldn't give you the satisfaction.
01:03:05 But why the hell do you always
01:03:11 - Memory.
01:03:15 Bad memory.
01:03:19 Always forgot the password.
01:03:26 I knew no Jerry would ever carry one.
01:03:32 I had to prove I was an Englishman.
01:03:54 Harry?
01:04:06 Get back! Back into the houses!
01:04:21 Hello, 30 corps. Please hurry up.
01:04:25 Please.
01:04:33 - Nothing, sir.
01:04:35 Is no use in any event.
01:04:48 We're out of ammunition anyway.
01:04:53 Right, off you go, Wicks.
01:04:56 - Get back to the main force.
01:04:58 I'll be all right.
01:06:24 My general says, "Please take it."
01:06:27 "Is very good chocolate.
01:06:44 English.
01:06:51 Red on!
01:06:55 Red on.
01:06:59 Action stations!
01:07:01 God bless Field Marshal Montgomery.
01:08:47 Would five minutes be too much?
01:08:55 Just five minutes respite.
01:09:00 Dear God
01:09:03 grant these young men
01:09:07 die in peace and quiet.
01:09:33 I'm sorry, lads,
01:09:45 Please.
01:09:48 Take my hand.
01:09:54 We're a bit late with this one, mate.
01:10:03 "Surely he shall deliver thee
01:10:07 and from the noisome pestilence."
01:10:11 "He shall cover thee with his feathers,
01:10:17 his truth shall be
01:10:39 There you go. Head back.
01:10:42 You'll be all right now, chum.
01:10:52 can it get worse?
01:10:54 Oh, yes, much worse.
01:11:00 ELST - 5 MILES FROM ARNHEM
01:11:14 Bring up the bulldozer.
01:11:28 Stretcher-bearer!
01:11:33 Help me!
01:11:36 Stretcher!
01:11:44 Morphia! Taffy, I must have morphia!
01:11:47 Morphia's only for the people
01:11:50 I thought I was really hurt.
01:11:53 Well, you're wrong.
01:11:56 No, I asked him to come over,
01:11:59 - We've got to do something.
01:12:02 General Urquhart, we have no more space
01:12:08 And since a prisoner of war has
01:12:13 I have a mind to ask the Germans to
01:12:18 if we could arrange evacuation.
01:12:23 certainly. If Weaver agrees.
01:12:25 But I hardly think the Germans will.
01:12:30 Thas 30 corps. I don't think my
01:12:46 I've come with a message
01:12:49 - How you manage that?
01:12:53 I'm afraid the radios are all up the spout.
01:12:56 The general asks if you'll
01:13:00 We've been holding out for six days now.
01:13:04 Any help at all would be
01:13:07 - You'll swim back with reply?
01:13:12 Well, we can't swim.
01:13:15 Not with equipment.
01:13:17 We have small rubber boats, thas all.
01:13:20 Rubber dinghies may be
01:13:23 I agree.
01:13:30 Tell the general we're coming.
01:13:33 We're coming tonight.
01:13:35 Yes, sir.
01:16:31 - Not possible.
01:16:35 - It would be very possible.
01:16:40 And we are in the process of winning it.
01:16:44 Winning and losing is not our concern.
01:16:48 Living or dying is.
01:16:52 cease fire.
01:16:55 One hour... two.
01:16:58 Just to evacuate our wounded.
01:17:02 Afterwards you can kill us
01:17:12 General Ludwig.
01:17:51 cease-fire at three.
01:17:55 - Will you thank him, please?
01:17:58 Please, you can go.
01:19:31 How short are we? A mile?
01:19:41 Why don't we just try to bash through?
01:19:46 For Goïs sake, it must be worth it.
01:19:49 They're trying to force Urquhart
01:19:52 Now, once they do that, once they've got
01:19:59 Not in Monty's plan at all.
01:20:02 Have we replaced the boats
01:20:07 Yes.
01:20:10 Well?
01:20:14 Well, then?
01:20:21 Thas it, then. We're pulling them out.
01:20:31 It was Nijmegen.
01:20:33 It was the single road...
01:20:37 No, it was after Nijmegen.
01:20:44 And the fog. In England.
01:20:52 Doesn't matter what it was.
01:20:55 "I know what les do today -
01:21:00 everybody dies.
01:21:05 "Withdraw."
01:21:09 Two days, they said.
01:21:14 One bloody mile -
01:21:18 - Hancock, here are another two.
01:21:21 - They're the last two I could find.
01:21:26 We've been given our marching orders.
01:21:31 If they discover we're leaving
01:21:34 so we must take every precaution. Now,
01:21:39 Macdonald will man the wireless so that
01:21:43 The padres and medical staff
01:21:48 Now, the wounded who are too bad
01:21:53 so our defence will seem as before.
01:21:56 By the time the Germans find out whas
01:22:02 - Pleasant journey.
01:22:34 - All right, laddie.
01:24:01 I'm beginning to believe
01:24:04 I thought everyone knew
01:24:30 Keep it orderly and keep it quiet.
01:24:40 come on. Don't hang about.
01:25:16 GENERAL BROWNING'S H. Q... HOLLAND
01:25:44 General Browning'll
01:25:53 He wondered if you perhaps
01:25:57 - Change?
01:26:02 No, thanks.
01:26:20 Hello, Roy.
01:26:25 How are you?
01:26:27 I'm not sure that I'll know for a while.
01:26:31 But I'm sorry about the way it worked out.
01:26:35 You did all you could.
01:26:39 Yes. But did everyone else?
01:26:46 They've got a bed for you upstairs
01:26:50 I took 10,000 men into Arnhem.
01:26:55 I don't feel much like sleeping.
01:26:58 Quite.
01:27:02 I've just been on to Monty.
01:27:05 He's very proud and pleased.
01:27:09 - Pleased?
01:27:12 He thinks Market Garden
01:27:17 But what do you think?
01:27:21 As you know, I've always thought
01:28:04 Thanks, Taff.
