EPISODES	BATTLES FOR NORMANDY ARNHEM
DESCRIPTION	BATTLES FOR NORMANDY View the famous D-Day landings of 1944 from the ships of the allied invasion fleet and from the positions of the German Army as it tried desperately to defend the beaches of Normandy. ARNHEM In World War II, during Operation Market Garden (September 1944), the British 1st Airborne Division and the Polish 1st Independent Parachute Brigade were given the task of securing the bridge at Arnhem. The units were parachuted and glider-landed into the area on September 17 and later. The bulk of the force was dropped rather far from the bridge and never met their objective. A small force of British 1st Airborne managed to make their way as far as the bridge but was unable to secure both sides. The Allied troops encountered stiff resistance from the German 9th and 10th SS Panzer divisions, which had been stationed in and around the city. The British force at the bridge eventually surrendered on September 21 and a full withdrawal of the remaining forces was made on September 26. These events were dramatized in the 1977 movie A Bridge Too Far. (The bridge scenes in the movie were shot in Deventer, where a similar bridge over the IJssel was available, as the area around Arnhem bridge had changed too much to represent the World War II era Arnhem). As a tribute, the rebuilt bridge was renamed the John Frost bridge after the commander of the paratroopers. The official commemoration is September 16. The current bridge is the third almost-identical bridge built at the same spot. The Dutch Army destroyed the first bridge when the Germans invaded Holland in 1940. The second bridge was destroyed by the US Army Air Forces shortly after the 1944 battle. This DVD features: - An in-depth analytical view. - The utilisation of detailed 3D graphics to illustrate strategies. - Original war footage from the battles.
