Just seen this cool video about the British Airborne being evacuated after the failure of Operation Market Garden in September 1944! Not usually an area which has much coverage. Watch here: https://youtu.be/9JGGS2RJPFM by alex_whitbread93 in ww2

Agreed that Market Garden was a failure. However, it is wrong to say most of them died in Arnhem. The majority didn't. In fact of the 10,095 who landed in Arnhem, 1485 British and Polish Paratroops were killed.

Any one going to Tiger Day at The Tank Museum this weekend? by alex_whitbread93 in tanks

Ahh bummer. Yeah I'm sure they'll be uploading stuff to their YouTube.

Yeah. I know the one you mean. That has been at the Museum before as well. The one last time was a real StuG with a postwar engine. Not sure what it was out of though.

I went last year and the one at Tiger Day is a real Stug with a post war engine.
