Invasion Scenes (1944)

[@leslietarkin]

This is mainly video of the British 49th (Polar Bears) Infantry Division as they make their way to Arnhem in April 1945. Beginning at 8:56 the video shows American General Omar Bradley & British Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery.

He looks a little awkward getting down from that vehicle.

8 years ago & only 4 comments. Must have been interesting getting Bradley & Montgomery together by late 44. Clearing the Scheldt estuary was going to be a costly affair.

From a Texan perspective,, it looks like the big British roundup of Germans here.

[@Paggerd]

Then I strongly suggest you stop looking at it from a Texan perspective. From a non-Texan perspective I saw British, American and Canadian troops depicted here.

@@Paggerd Mainly British/Commonwealth I think. Only saw US generals, not GIs.

Yes. Actually there were allied troops from many nations present on D Day and during the drive to destroy the Nazi’s forces on the allied push towards Berlin to meet with the Soviets. As Patton said ‘If everyone agrees to the plan, something is wrong!’ There were many disagreements on tactics and strategy throughout the war and they increased as the allies got closer to destroying the enemy but we all hung in there, using vast quantities of equipment, most of it made in the USA! Victory was assured! Thanks to all combined.
