A Bridge Too Far: This Battle Case is Worth Pondering
This is a battle case that is worth pondering for future generations.
"Market-Garden". It is planned to adopt the airborne "leapfrog" tactic, with a total of 35,000 people from the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions of the US Army, the 1st Airborne Division of the British Army, and the Polish Parachute Brigade, in turn in Eindhoven, Nijmegen, and the 63-mile battle depth. Arnhem was airborne in three places, seized the bridge on the Rhine River, and escorted the...

War has never had mercy. This film can boldly describe the failure of the Allied forces, which is director Richard Edin Paul's understanding of war. The war between the two sides is only about military deployment, and he also has some plots that the Germans can also negotiate to let the wounded be evacuated first, but he does not express that the Germans stink so much. Some movies are meant to express the importance of people (the wounded), and to say that the allied forces on the side of...

After watching it, there is only spit: this movie is too embarrassing to call it a classic. The plot is really no less than the domestic anti-Japanese war drama. The resourceful Marshal Model is actually depicted as a second-best fighter in it. Needless to say, the British army, the well-known scumbag of the 5th battle (see the Southeast Asian battlefield for details), rushed and killed like chicken blood in it. It's not like that gentleman who pretends to be a gentleman. Can Nima be more...

Movie Review: A Distant Bridge
A relatively rare World War II film depicting the defeat of the Allies. One of the biggest problems of this type of films depicting war in a holistic manner is that it is difficult to grasp the proportion of scenes between the big battlefield and the small individuals, resulting in fragmentation. The same is true of this film, so there are a lot of movie stars, but the performance does not leave any impression. It is impossible to see such films with large investment, difficult performances,...

Operation "Market-Garden" was essentially the result of a rivalry between Montgomery and Patton. Both wanted to be the first to invade Germany and make their own exploits. Compared to Patton, Montgomery does not seem to have such a big bearing - perhaps this is also the characteristic of an English gentleman. However, the operation was poorly planned, as Montgomery underestimated the German defenses in the Netherlands and the ability to mobilize reserves, resulting in a disastrous defeat. Large...

[First lines]
[film opens with montage footage of a World War II era bomber dropping ordinances. Suddenly, the footage freezes, and we hear a woman speaking]
Kate Ter Horst: It's hard to remember now, but Europe was like this in 1944.
[the video resumes, showing footage of the fighting while the narrator continues on with the introduction]
Kate Ter Horst: The Second World War was in its fifth year and still going Hitler's way. German troops controlled most of Europe. D-Day changed all that.
[the archive footage cuts to the invasion of Normandy and the liberation of Paris]
Kate Ter Horst: D-Day, June 6, 1944, when the Allied forces, under their commander, General Eisenhower, landed on the northern coast of France. By July, they were able to begin their own offensive. By August, Paris was liberated. Everywhere the Germans retreated.
[we then see archive footage showing the Allied advance through northern France]
Kate Ter Horst: But with the Allied victories came problems. Supplies still had to be driven from Normandy, over 400 miles away, and became dangerously short. The Allied advance began to come to a halt.
[the archive footage then goes to video of General Eisenhower, General Patton, and Field Marshal Montgomery]
Kate Ter Horst: Another problem facing Eisenhower was this. His two most famous generals - Patton, who was in the south, and Montgomery in the north - disliked each other intensely. Their long-standing rivalry had never been more fierce. There simply were not enough supplies for both armies. Each wanted to be the one to defeat the Germans. Each wanted to beat the other to Berlin.
[we now see footage of the planning stages of "Operation Market Garden" as well as hear background music as the woman continues with the introduction]
Kate Ter Horst: In September 1944, Montgomery devised a new and spectacular plan code named "Market Garden". Eisenhower, under great pressure from his superiors, finally sided with Montgomery, and "Operation Market Garden" became a reality. The plan, like so many plans in so many wars before it, was meant to end the fighting by Christmas, and bring the boys back home.
[we see the archive footage freeze, and watch it zoom in on General Eisenhower before fading to black]
[repeated line]
Maj. Julian Cook: Hail Mary full of grace... Hail Mary full of grace...
Lt. General Horrocks: [as he drives past a parked tank with 'Berlin Next Stop' painted on it] Morning Derek! Glad to see someone knows where we're going!
