John Frost Bridge, famous in the Operation Market Garden Campaign and the Battle of Arnhem in September 1944 and also in the movie "A Bridge Too Far" where British Paratroopers held out for 5 days using only light weapons against German Panzer Tanks.

It still amazes me the sacrifices those men and women made for the good of humanity. We should strive to ensure that their valor in such dire circumstances is never forgotten. hxtr, Sonovabich and Unchileno 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

I know m8 i remember you telling me, i will go there one day, it has always been on my list of places to visit, Market Garden has always been my favourite...(is favourite the correct word maybe not) Battle/War Story from WW2, maybe because the British were heavily involved, read something or watched a documentary a few years ago where German SS Soldiers who were veterans of Stalingrad said the Battle of Arnhem with it's street fighting against the British Paras was the hardest battle they had fought throughout the whole war.
