The Battle of Vrij & the Destruction of the 3rd Irish Guards | February 1945

[@minhthunguyendang9900]

Grateful 🥲 for those who fell in the last days, instead of stopping to enjoy themselves while letting others die in the ongoing fighting. As Robert Capa wrote of his sequence of photos taken at Leipzig on May 8th 1945, of a young American soldier killed while still fighting against the last pockets of diehard nazis : “The picture of the last man firing a gun is no different than the picture of the first man firing a gun. But the boy has a very bright young face and his gun is still killing nazis !”

[@williamfairrie3621]

I remember reading an account from Richard Winters in Band of Brothers. During their joint operations with the British in Operation Market Garden, he recounts how a British patrol set off to find the enemy. He noted how the Brits at the time tended to walk out into the field in formation, but in full view of the enemy, without moving very tactically until contact was made. He saw a bunch of them cut down by withering MG42 fire because of this. They could have been replacements or just not very well trained. The Irish guards here may have befallen a similar fate.

@@Aaron-sx7zf By this time, and after Montgomery's fecklessness around Caen, Market-Garden, and the initial failure to clear the shores of the Scheldt leading to Antwerp, British Commonwealth forces were running low on manpower and had to implement a "casualty conservation" policy. Of course, the Germans were also resorting to Hitler Youth and Volkssturm, but over 300,000 German personnel would be surrounded in the Ruhr in April 1945. So there were still massive forces of battle-hardened troops on both sides slogging it out over every meter well into March and April of 1945. I watched the movie "Fury" recently.

[@scotthill8787]

@@Aaron-sx7zf Are you sure about those dates? The French occupied the Rhineland in the 20’s, after Germany didn’t pay the reparations that were due under Versailles. The French, after all, had paid the reparations Germany had imposed on them after the 1870 war. The Germans, for all of Hitler’s whining, never paid a dime in reparations after WW1. (They borrowed it from American banks, and never paid them back.) In 1939, the French moved into the Saar region, but withdrew without a shot fired. And, as I’ve pointed out: Once the war was over, the Allies stopped killing civilians. The extermination of the Jews would have stopped only after the Nazis couldn’t find any more Jews. And Hitler was demanding that his scientists develop V weapons to allow him to strike America. Surely you don’t think those would have only targeted military targets, do you?

I cant find no info on any of this on google other than this video... looking for battle of Vrij suggests "Operation Veritable" but there is not info on Vrij on its wikipedia page.

[@allandavis8201]

I’m no expert about communication apparatus in any way,shape, or form but, and there is always a but, it seems to me that the portable radio equipment used by the British 🇬🇧 Army was not exactly fit for purpose, and I believe that the same equipment was a major factor in the failure of “Market Garden”, it was obviously a known issue for the British military but it seems nothing happened to improve the situation, and if someone who knows about the equipment and if it was upgraded/replaced could enlighten me I would be grateful. It has been said before and undoubtedly will be said again, the Intelligence Corp didn’t really do the Guards any favours, intelligence during war is probably the second most important factor when planning an operation, the first being the manpower required, and it could be the difference between life and death (as in this attack) for the personnel involved, but that lack of accurate intelligence during war is not easily obtained, maybe not even obtained from a reliable source or recce by the boots on the ground, but, unfortunately, that would not be a good enough reason to not carry out the attack. I hope that all those who died in this action, and all those who died for our freedoms we have today, are Resting in Peace, Lest We Forget, and not just during this time of remembrance, but everyday.

[@lorainehenderson3416]

I don’t know the context of this attack but it seems very poorly planned.Why a1300 hours start and not a night attack at which the British excelled. No reconnaissance, lack of wireless comms, must mean that no artillery support could be called up once the attack was in trouble. If the carriers were stuck in the boggy ground, this must also have so Lowed the infantry advance, leaving the Guards vulnerable to a resolute German counterattack.Great video, so many questions I would love to ask the divisional or brigade commanders.

By this point, both sides were reaching the end of their manpower reserves. After Montgomery's fecklessness at Caen in June-August 1944, misallocation of resources to Market Garden that should have been used to clear the shores of the Scheldt Estuary leading to the port of Antwerp, the British Commonwealth leadership had to implement a "casualty conservation" policy. The Germans were resorting to Hitler Youth and Volkssturm soldiers to supplement regular German military forces, but there were still over 300,000 German troops defending the Ruhr. One cannot defend the atrocities of the nazi regime, and most Germans knew the war was lost, but if I were a German soldier defending the Heimat in those months, I would fight to the last, whether it was using a Panzerfaust from a window in Berlin, an MG-42 in the Reichswald, or a Flak battery against Arthur "Bomber" Harris's RAF Bomber Command "area bombing" Berlin, Dresden, Pforzheim, etc.
