Hell's Highway: Market Garden Collection Trailer
Trailer to Hell's Highway the new DVD from the Market Garden Collection from Pen and Sword Books.
Montgomery's brainchild, Operation Market Garden, was designed to end the war by Christmas 1944 and clear away Hitler's V weapons from the North Sea Coast. Following the collapse of the German Army in Normandy and its flight back across northern France, it seemed that a bold move to seize the three major and numerous other waterways across Holland would place the Second British Army beyond the Rhine. This would deliver Germany's powerhouse the Ruhr, put the Allies on the North German Plain and the road to Berlin. The Allies had, however, outran their supplies and the Germans were staging an amazing strategic recovery. The BHTV team, made up of leading historians and battlefield guides, probe the controversial background to Operation Market Garden.

#Holland #OMG #OperationMarketGarden , The Battle For Hells_Highway
In honor of Veteran's Day,
This is the original version of HELL'S HIGHWAY as I originally made it. It is a combination of old newsreel images and still photos taken during the action by members of the 101st Air Borne Division, made up by elements of the battalions of the 501st, 502nd & 506th Parachute Infantry Regiments. I wanted to particularly focus upon those soldiers of the 502nd PIR, and they can be easily spotted by identifying the battalion helmet markings of the paratroopers of the 101st. All battalion members of the 502nd are identified on their helmets with a white heart. These men called themselves The Widow Makers.
September 17 - 27, 1944. Three regiments (501st, 502nd, 506th) of the 101st Airborne Division were dropped behind Nazi lines in Holland in an attempt to seize the bridges and bridgeheads leading into Germany in a futile attempt to try to end the war early.
This was Chuck's 2nd combat jump behind enemy lines. His 1st combat jump was on the night of June 5-6, when his company of paratroopers were part of the pathfinders group leading the way into France for the rest of the paratroop regiments.
Chuck was a member of Easy Company of the 502nd PIR, not to be confused with the Easy Company of the 506th PIR (Band of Brothers), of the 101st Airborne Division. They were all part of the 101st, everything that you saw on TV about Band of Brothers, were the same engagements and battles that Chuck's outfit was also a part of. Chuck was a volunteer and original member of the 502nd when it was formed in 1942. He had enlisted in the US Army in January of 1941. His assignment in Easy Company was as part of a two man .30 caliber machine gun team.

Floyd helpt de genie
Een soldaat doet meer dan het afvuren van kogels en granaten. Op het Basecamp zijn er ook allerlei klusjes te doen. Klusjes die niet allemaal met vechten tegen de Duitsers te maken hebben. Verslaggever Floyd gaat een week lang terug in de tijd. Hoe was het voor de jonge Amerikaanse soldaten die met hun parachute in het Brabantse Eerde landden om hier te leven?
