Pegasus Bridge
In this video we are going to explore Pegasus Bridge and the monuments.
Pegasus Bridge was taken on June 6th 1944 by glidermen from the British 6th Airborne division in a daring coup-de-main assault. Within minutes after landing they managed to secure the bridge and it became one of the most imaginative airborne operations of WWII.
Instant fact-check update; it should be Lance-Corporal Fred Greenhalgh, not Lance Sergeant!

Просмотров 3,2 тыс.Год назад
Let's take a tour of the gigantic WWII bunker that was built at Eperlecques near Calais in Northern France. The objective was to launch hundreds of V-2 rockets at London from a secure location. We are going to look at what remains today (a lot!) and find out why it was built, how it was built and whether or not it was completed and operational.

Engineer should put stone boulder top and side of bunker than cover with soil layer its provide strength and enemy would unable to find bunker
I was there in 1969 at age 3. I remember the torn up pill boxes.
A very well-produced video. Helps to make sense of an enduring Arnhem myth. There really is no substitute for 'walking the ground'.
It's all fenced off now 😢

This just showed , outside the fluff history book propaganda , the elite of western allies are nothing against even the weakened rear area german troops... only the russian fought the elite german troops and won while the west made up BS stories in their history. The overblown normandy landing was a fiascoas highly trained fresh western troops have so much trouble against rear area german troops..
time stamp 7.06 When the General was killed by "friendly fire from a Tiger tank"....... Sorry but a Tiger tank was GERMAN and NOT AMERICAN therefor not killed by friendly fire but by the hands of the enemy...
Should have issued shields.... to protect soldiers from small arms fire... Better leaders 2000 years ago
This is beautifully done. Thank you for this moment of deep reflection. At least all of these men are with their comrades in this peaceful place.
What background audio file did you use for the battle sounds?
U-BOOT Massive concrete Best BUNKER i like that 😂
These are all over the place. There is a Tiger sitting in Le Gleize
Горели тогда сгореть будут сейчас
Видел её правнука Леопарда ,его русские поймали в степях украины и обломав лапки выставили на Поклоной горе в Москве.
Sadly at that point in the war Germany should have sued for peace.....lot of good men on both sides died needlessly.
С СССР не вышло бы Сталин не поверил бы Гитлеру обманщик,как Путин не поверит больше Зелепупу.
In all wars men die needlessly...

Tell by the rune?
That poor thing needs some attention
God bless my hero Scully who fought across the bridge . He went back some years ago to be a pall bearer for one of his fallen pals. He is gone now but will never ever be forgotten by me and many more
A lot of Dodgers served in Russia during the war 2. Excellent car. In the Red Army, he received the nickname "Dodge three-quarters" because of its load capacity of 750 kg (3/4 ton). Hi from Russia!
Got the date wrong, Bruce was killed 25th October 44. Black Watch Roll of Honour web site records those killed and where buried. It also indicates inadvertently the battles, for instance 1st Battalion last men at Hassum Railway Station in February 44 and at Speldrop Klien Esserden in March 44( apologies For my previous error). Thanks for posting although it is now 6 years since you posted. Thanks again
Thanks for mentioning the Black Watch who you say we’re tasked with taking Pyramid hill My father Francis Fraser was there with the first battalion BW from October 44 through to March 45 He was in a slit trench forward of the company and brigade on the Dutch side of the stream with his friend Bruce McPherson. Bruce was killed by a sniper on a hill like or maybe it was Pyramid Hill. My dad jumped up and ran like a rabbit ( the flight or fight reaction). I think that was 23rd October 44 and they were still fighting hard in March 45 at Hassan Railway station. We will remember them.
I love Captain Dye's outbursts 😅
Great video thank you
where are all the Germans buried ?
Colonel Sink!! Amazing
Very cool! New something about this, but now I no more. Thank you.
5 years ago already...crazy.
i found out my great grandfather protected this. he was in kriegsmarine costal artillirty and handled a search ligth
I am an ex-British soldier, now 70 years old, who has been on active service and I visited Pegasus Bridge and Arnhem for the 6oth Anniversary with a group of friends and I thought I was combat -hardened, but I was moved to tears by how all the Dutch people look after our fallen soldiers and the Dutch children laying a flower on each soldier's grave at the air-borne cemetery was something I will never forget. My uncle Edward "Eddie" Dobson was among those who landed at Arnhem in 1944 and was lucky enough to be one of those that got back home and he and my dad attended my passing out parade in 1971 and my uncle Eddie still looked every inch the paratrooper that he had been years before, and I was ever so proud knowing that him and my dad were watching me, I thank all the Dutch people from the bottom of my heart.
Lt. Denham Brotheridge please, not Dan.
Very well presented well done !
Had the opertunity to visit all the D Day beaches after my father in law passed away to see where he landed on 6 th June. It’s hard not to shed a tear .
As a very young child, I got to go into the abandoned coastal defensive bunkers in Galveston Texas. I've never forgotten them. These are amazing.
it reminds me of the museum in Caen, normandy
Wow!!!! Mind boggling how huge this is. Great video.
A cemetery I visit 2 or 3 times a year. #wewillrememberthem
In Lommel (Be) there are more than 41000 Germans buried. Lommel is not all that far from Ysselsteyn.
Merci, beaucoup!
I could listen to Capt Dye for hours!
It’s “the” not “da”.
Amazing video. Thanks for your work
Thanks, I’ve been looking for some good details of the 505th on Market Garden for my history report about the 505/82 from its combat debut to entering Berlin as the Allied occupation force. So far I’m only on Holland/Market Garden but there are already 31 pages and some 7.7k words. My great grandfather was a paratrooper in WWII. He was with the 509th Parachute Infantry Regiment in North Africa and later the 456th Parachute Field Artillery Regiment assigned to the 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment in the 82nd Airborne in Sicily. He was then sent back to England to prepare for Operation Overlord when he was transferred to the 101st Airborne and jumped into Normandy, and later into Holland. He also participated in the Battle of the Bulge and Western Germany. He had made either 4 or 5 combat jumps during the war. By the time he was honorably discharged, he was a technician 4th grade.

First the Jews were forced to built piramides and then these bunkers. Both will be here for ever.
Thanks for the video
Thank you to these men and their families for their sacrifice. A "thank you" is not enough but it's all I can do.
A really excellently narrated & filmed and informative film. For someone for whom English is not their native language you put many British historical presenters in the shade.
Superb video- many thanks
Superb!! Thanks for all of your research. Will soon be the 80th anniversary.
A history lesson at every marker ,our freedom at every marker , god bless everyone who gave there life’s . Think about It !😢
My grandfather's name is on that memorial. Private George Morse of the Royal Berkshire Regiment 💔
