Same here

In memory of John Frost and his 2nd Parachute Battalion, their service, courage and bravery that will not be forgotten by anyone who hated the Nazis and despised them. Thank you for the great sacrifice you all made. German paratroopers greet each other with "Glück ab" and mean by that: Arrive safely on the ground, comrade. Today we are part of an alliance. Today we see on the brink of a new great war. Let's hope the chalice passes us by. And if not, that we live up to the memory of the men who fell and fought here. And let's hope that the decency shown by the enemy in Arnheim to the fighting Englishmen will not be forgotten, because the ceasefire has saved the lives of many soldiers who were taken prisoner but were still given medical care. In Erinnerung an John Frost und sein 2 Fallschirmjäger Battalion, deren Dienst, deren Mut und deren Tapferkeit, die von niemandem vergessen werden wird, dem die Nazis ein Greul und etwas Verachtenswertes waren. Danke für das große Opfern das ihr alle erbracht habt. Deutsche Fallschirmjäger grüßen sich mit "Glück ab" und meinen damit: Komme gut am Boden an, Kamerad. Heute sind wir Teil eines Bündnisses. Heute sehen wir am Rande eines neuen großen Krieges. Hoffen wir das der Kelch an uns vorüber geht. Und wenn nicht, das wir dem Andenken an die Männer, die hier fielen und kämpften gerecht werden. Und hoffen wir, das auch der Anstand, den der Gegner in Arnheim den Kämpfenden Engländern erwies nicht vergessen wird, denn die Feuerpause hat vielen Soldaten, die zwar in Gefangenschaft gerieten aber dennoch medizinisch versorgt wurden das Leben erhalten.

The museum at Osterbeek is well worth a visit, museum is the hotel that served as an HQ in a "Bridge too far"

I have visited this bridge. The original bridge was bombed into the river by allied aircraft after Market Garden.

[@traceymenadue9868]

At least that i am not the only one that had lost a family member

[@devonrascal2808]

Amazing

[@taocpa]

These are not slow marches. I believe these are in 3/4 time. Green Hills of Tyrol is the first tune, I believe. If it was a slow march, their marching would include a halt step. Also, the drum major calls a quick March, which tells the band the type of March it is. If he said "slow march", that would call for the halt step.

[@pieterwzn]

+Tom O'Connor Thanks for your remarks. I made some changes.

[@taocpa]

+pieterwzn This is what spending your life around pipe bands does to you! Great video, btw. Thanks for sharing.

[@sqnhunter]

+Tom O'Connor No such thing as a three quarter March. The difference between a slow march and a normal march is the step. It is also practiced in many countries using a goose step. Slow march does not use the arms movement. Feet are parallel to the ground at all times. No halting step is neccessary...thats mostly used for funerals and colors. The pace is set by the drummer major...which can be as fast or slow as he likes...and may vary with the music played. Here, is an example of a normal march...no halted step for a funeral but a slower pace set for the somberness of the occassion. You will notice the guys at the beginning began with arms swinging. That said it all. Whether it be half pace, 3/4 pace or any pace in between....its up to the drummer major who will move with the music. Been around scotts bands all my life also, but as a military personel who had to march to them....and its all explained clearly in the manual lol. Not having a go at ya tom occonnor...explaining the fact of the matter. Many soldiers even have a problem co ordinating this lol.

[@taocpa]

I know there is no such thing as a 3/4 March. I incorrectly identified the step. I know it's not a halt step. I couldn't think of the name.

[@sqnhunter]

Tom O'Connor yes, really its just a march slowed down to suit the sombrerity of the music. To be honest...it was an impressive march for that pace. Not an easy pace to keep. really hard on the hips for bigger men.

A Dutch king came to our aid in 1689 it’s only right that in 1944 we repaid the favour 🇬🇧💙🇳🇱

John Frost thought he didn't deserve it to name the bridge after him. Most if not all disagreed with him.
