A superb detailed talk thank you. My Grandfather made the jump at Genkeil Heith on the 18th September 1944 but was sadly killed the next day. We think at Wolfeze. Sgt Austin Francis RIP.
Thank you Sir, an insight into the confusion and fog of war. Brave souls one and all and will be remembered for their sacrifice in the pursuit of freedom.
The whole concept of "1st Allied Airborne Army" was a dud from the start and doomed to fail. An eccentric and untested command structure rife with inter-service and nationalistic rivalry. No wonder it didn't last.
The man passed away at an age of 100 years . R.I.P col. Waddy

Thank you, that was enthralling. 👏 👏
Highly interesting video. I'm going to visit Arnhem & Nijmegen in August and do some battlefield spotting.
