Good video. My Grandfather, Douglas Burnett Jennings aka Jack, was on the Oosterbeek drop with 10 Para. He was shot and was subsequently captured at Wolfheze. He, with what was left of his comrades and others, was then marched to Stalag XI-B in Falingbostel and remained there until being Liberated in 1945. It was reported that when he was liberated he weighed approx 6 stone or approx 40kg due to there not being enough food for the prisoners to go around. I myself served for 24 years in the Army and look forward to visiting Holland next year for the 80th Anniversary.
