Have to say that Bridge Too Far has to be one of the top 5 war movies of all time. You will not see this kind of care and attention to detail in a movie any more.
Anyone else ever get the chance to make the Nijmegnian (spelling sucks!) March?
This is the annual march from Nij to Arnhem...you really get a feel for just how poorly planned Market-Garden was...trying to push an armored division up a two lane road that is elevated some dozen feet above the fields...talk about exposed!!!
