Background material for "Market Garden Operation"
It’s a pretty good film. It’s about the "market garden" operation in Bob, a more adventurous long-distance circuit led by the British Army (Montgomery’s initiative, mentioned in the film but not shown), hoping to bypass the heavy defenses. The German-French border (Siegfried Line), from the...

The German army was at the end of the line, but the British general did not listen to the soldiers' discovery of the tank, and it just fell in front of the German general all the way, one was surrounded by a large number of cheering people, and a group of bridges in front of them were bombed and needed bridge equipment to reach. . . The place where the materials were dropped was occupied by the German army, and the German general gave the British general a box of British chocolates. .

Lt. General Frederick "Boy" Browning: [last lines, at General Browning's headquarters in Holland. After being extracted from the Arnhem debacle, General Urquhart arrives there and is greeted by dozens of geese in Browning's yard; their honking sounds like scornful laughter] Welcome, Roy. How do you feel?
Major General Urquhart: I'm not sure I'll know for a while. But I'm sorry for the way it worked out.
Lt. General Frederick "Boy" Browning: You did all you could.
Major General Urquhart: Yes, but did everybody else?
Lt. General Frederick "Boy" Browning: They've got a bed for you upstairs, if you want it.
Major General Urquhart: I took 10,000 of our finest troops to Arnhem; I've come back with less than 2,000. I don't feel much like sleeping.
Lt. General Frederick "Boy" Browning: I've just been on to Monty. He's very proud, and pleased.
Major General Urquhart: [incredulous] PLEASED!
Lt. General Frederick "Boy" Browning: According to himself, technically, Market Garden was 90% successful.
Major General Urquhart: But what do YOU think?
Lt. General Frederick "Boy" Browning: Well, as you know, I always felt we tried to go a bridge too far.
