Brilliant Episode!!!

I love your attempts to pronounce the Dutch & German place names, the German unit names & the German ranks & officer’s names. However, it’s great that you have the details on hand in your notebook! Keep up the good work.

Did 21st Army Group Have Any Functioning/Competent Military Intelligence Establishment???

Growing up in Wallingford in the late 70s and 80s, there was a bloke that everyone called Curly. Nice affable old boy who would always say say hello if he knew you. It wasn't until a few years after his death that I found out that he was Cpl Charles Godbold, who landed on the 2nd glider at Pegasus Bridge. He was also the man who fired the PIAT at the boat that came up the canal.

So much history! There are still bunkers to be found in the area, dug in tanks, bullet holes and so much more

the ditch vs culvert debate continues

Excellent and Outstanding!!!

Don't give up your day job James

Rather embarrassing to see they got the village the wrong way round! The cluster of buildings at the very end where James and Al climb the embankment was Objective W, the predesignated CP for 1st Bn of the 502nd under Lt Col Cassidy. It was stated in the pre jump orders that it was on the western side of the D-14 road which it is (all the AAR maps support this). On D-Day, it had been over taken by other elements of the 502nd (Michaelis if memory serves me correctly) and was designated as the new Regt CP. It was from Obj W or the new 502nd RCP that Summers and his men were tasked with entering the village from the eastern side heading west. The route summers took moving house to house and eventually with PFC Camien is well documented by 101st Abn expert Mark Bando on his Trigger Time website, forum and in his books. Mr Bando has been documenting the 101st in ww2 since the 70’s/80’s and has visited Normandy countless times and knows the WXYZ complex well. The village has also featured on a couple of other channels from 2/3 years ago so might be new to the audience here but not new per se

Keep these videos coming, lads great work...

I've seen them all multiple times, I feel like I am standing with these guys. Except drinking tea in a field 😊

Oh no..Mr Murray...how can your Christmas war movie be Where eagles dare....A massive let down for me because of that ridiculous addition which was unnecessary of that helicopter...aaarghhh..

I recommend sitting with Google maps open when watching these great videos.

This is a good account here as well about La Fiere The Most Decisive Battle of D-Day? La Fiere Bridge ruclips.net/video/-pFc7P1bCvE/видео.html

About a week ago, RUclips launched one of your videos straight into my feed like a paratrooper dropping behind enemy lines. I clicked out of curiosity, and before I knew it, I was pinned down, watching video after video. It’s been like a crash course through D-Day and Market Garden-I’ve gone back to the start of your channel and watched everything you’ve posted. What a mission it’s been, and I’ve loved every second of it! Your passion for bringing these battlefields and their history to life is truly remarkable. As a new channel, you’ve already achieved something special: you’re not just telling stories-you’re helping viewers like me walk in the footsteps of history, connecting us to the sacrifices and courage of those who fought in places like Arnhem. Please keep going! Your content is a vital reminder of the past, and I’m certain your channel will grow and inspire even more people over time. I’ll be standing by, ready for the next mission. Thank you for everything you’re doing! Jack.

Let him speak you butting in git

i would love to meet you when you guys are back here! i live here in the city and still find many places and stories besides yours which are great to watch!

Just finished reading Al’s Black Tuesday, seeing these videos really brings home the nightmare that was Arnhem, how close everything was. Great work Guys thank you

A bit off topic but those little gardens in front of the houses bring so much life and colour to the area, should take a leaf out their book here in English cities and towns! Great episode btw, I have been loving this series, it gives us the best views and I feel like I’m there with you most of the time, fantastic! Keep it up!

"Well the landlord won't like that" is hilarious, different breed altogether - really enjoyed this episode

Keep in mind that 3 minutes is probably the best possible time They started in the river, not on the bank. They look like (quite rightly!) they’ve practiced while the paras had just been handed the boats recently And of course they’re not being shot at. Maybe 6 minutes is more likely? Longest 6 minutes ever….

Guys Please !!!! A 'Culvert' is a Ditch with water in it !! A 'Ditch' has no WATER !! Simples !! 😂

Brilliant stuff lads - I had no idea that Ben was involved in this ! Your character of the Captain was superb, very funny and as always with superb comedy, full of poignancy and pathos. I have been listening to We Have Ways since I saw you live at Chalke Valley way back when - the Second World War is endlessly fascinating and your podcast takes the understanding and passion for it to a whole new level - Bring on 1945 ! I look forward to more Walking the Ground episodes - for many years , myself and a group of workmates made many trips to Normandy, Arnhem, the Ardennes, the Ruhr dams and many other places indulging our passion for ze var…..there really is nothing like being there and seeing/feeling it. We called ourselves “Cheesy Company “ and the “ Band of Bloaters “ due to our complete lack of military prowess and fitness levels ….. One day, we hope to re-form and launch an operational sortie again. Walking the Ground just fires the passion back up ! GOOD SHOW CHAPS !

Come across this after just watching 'The Longest Day.' Preferred the film.

Brilliant guys, I really love these narratives.

These two walking home from school!🤣

So When are Jim and Al starting their own battlefield tour business, History and Drinking it will be a good money spinner

He's got no interest marching anywhere!

There is docu on you tube about a theory that a dutch double agent tipped off the germans pre market garden - also, model was an excellent field marshal known for his quick reactions to battle situations - a bridge too far indeed, nearly worked though

This learning should be compulsory in our schools. I hope their sacrifices were not in vain.

What is the series/movie they mention relating to this story?

Loved the moment with the musicians! “Thank God for peace”. Amen.

They weren't us.....just as well.

Brilliant just brilliant!

Another fantastic video , really interesting listening to you both talk about what went on , enjoy your pint 🍺 👍🏻

Brilliant video again chaps. Let's get to that pint.

Great episode but unfortunately a very sad ending.

Really love this channel! I binged all videos in 2 days 😂 Will you be doing a Battle of the Bulge video series?

Those germans were not exactly the most switched on, there is a full scale invasion taking place, and shooting going on down the lane, and they don't have the lane or the approaches to the building covered.

God bless Britain and Holland. The best.

Another great episode lads. Keep up the good work team!

Phenomenal video gents- where on earth have you gained the knowledge Al? I know you from BDC but this part of WW2 and the code breakers are my thing - superbly put together vid 🦊

Had to listen to it again as wife turned the rudy washing machine on..😂😂

Absolutely mind blowing stories of what your telling.. Quite a few years ago while at the smugglers pub at Totness we where very privileged to be visited by a Mr Bingley who was an Arnham vet .. Some of accounts he gave just where unbelievable to listen to .. Excellent as ever, this battle and others like it should never be forgotten.

Always wondered if maybe half of first airborne would have been on the north side of the bridge instead of just the 600 of Frost and his men. What would have been the outcome? I mean if 600 could hold out for that long, how long would have been if half was on the bridge? And what would it be interesting to do a tour with Al Murray around Arnhem and Oosterbeek.

Enjoy your pint. In the Airborne pocket.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this series. I now have to delve into my Christmas presents - Arnhem Black Tuesday and Normandy '44, D Day and the Battle for France by these 2 chaps. I look forward to their next outing.

Robert Cain was also Jeremy Clarkson's father in law

I thought Arnhem was flat, didn’t realise how hilly it is.
