- Hi everybody ! - Hello !
Today, new day, we will do a historic tour with our friend Ruud
In the beautiful city of Arnhem, it's in the heart of the Netherlands
- And we are lucky to have a passionate guide to history - From the second world war!
He will tell us specifically the history of the "Arnhem Bridge"
Catches of the Arnhem bridge by the English, at least the tests
It's called "A bridge too far" I think, there is a film like that, we'll tell you all that!
We present you who is Ruud, right now!
Small very important point before starting this visit on the battle of Arnhem,
Know that Ruud is completely licensed to do this course, and to do the excavations,
- By the Arnhem Town Hall, and by the authorities - This is not the case of everyone,
- Do not try to find sockets, or grenades - It can be very dangerous!
because there are grenades that are still active, surely, in the soil
Know that special authorization is needed, and if we had the chance to do this report,
This is precisely because our guide, Ruud is entitled to do it!
Do not do silly things, do not go without authorization, and without knowledge especially!
We count on you !
- Where is Ruud? - Rrruuudd, Ruuuuddd
- Here we go, we're in the car with Ruud - Hi !
The biggest fan of "Voyage à Plein Temps" from the Netherlands
We'll do this trick, the Battle of Arnhem, the operation Market Garden
There, we are next to the fields where the parachutes, to take the Arnhem Bridge
The English arrived parachuted with these planes without an engine, to be as discreet as possible!
And these fields are actually 15 km from the bridge coveted by the Germans, as by the English
So the soldiers who landed here in parachute had to walk 15 km to get to the bridge,
Which has largely left time for Germans to see the English plan coming!
There was no effect of surprise for the shot!
- We are in fields that are next to the town of Wolfheze - And it's here that a lot of English,
That all the English besides, have landed with non-powered planes
who were towed by big planes with four engines, then dropped
and lands in all fields who are around us!
in fact it's impressive to see the number of planes that could have
The Germans were taken by surprise, because it was Saturday,
and the Germans did not know really not what was going to happen
And what told us Ruud, and who is pretty funny
is that there is a psychiatric hospital that is everything near, and the English arriving bombed it,
because they thought it could to be a barracks of Germans,
and all the people who were locked up in this psychiatric hospital have escaped
through the fields, and have come see the English who had just landed here
All the madmen were free, and around the English so the English have a lot of laughs about that
And now, it's a little fun side of the story
And Ruud goes here with metal detectors, and still finds pieces of the planters, the famous aircraft without engine
It's really a pleasure to visit this city with someone who is also passionate about his story,
because suddenly he tells us!
It is true that I am not particularly a big fan of war stories
but with someone so passionate, it makes the thing completely interesting!
- We hope to be able to communicate it too - So it's not easy, because you have to translate from English to French,
and in addition it's terms of the second world war, so it's not easy
So we will try to make as clear as possible, but we are sorry if sometimes it is not
So I asked Ruud what's the difference between the parachuting of men and those who have come with gliders
and he explained to me that with gliders, they could be six in
and they also carried ammunition, weapons, and Jeeps too
It was very big gliders! It will have allowed them that!
So that's the difference between parachuting and gliders
There we are on the North Road, this is the place by which the English had to pass
One of the places, there were three roads, the road North, the middle road, and the South Road
So this is one of the places by which the English had to go to the Arnhem Bridge
The problem is that the Germans were waiting for them, because they knew they were going to the bridge
What you also need to know is that in the woods, Germans, as they had preceded the English,
they had recovered ammunition and refueling the English!
And on that road, there were huge tanks that completely blocked the passage for the English
You have to know that the English arrived by parachute, so that they had nothing but their uniforms and guns
They had very little anti-tank that was very hard for them, so they could not resist against German tanks
Something happened too horrible during this clash,
is that Polish planes are arrived to help the English,
So they landed on the English side
And unfortunately the Poles have arrived with different uniforms, their uniforms,
and the English being under fire Germans were ordered to retreat,
and came face to face with the Poles who were coming to arrive and who were normally their allies,
but as they saw different uniforms, they thought it was German,
and they fired on the poles, the Poles defended themselves
and so the English were in the crossfire, those of the Poles and those of the Germans!
It created total chaos! So here there was a lot of damage!
That's a place where there is had a lot of massacres ...
On this side, it is the English side
On this side, it was German
It must have been English, for ammunition and refueling
And from there, it was also German
and the German tanks were positioned on this road here
And also there, it's the road North, to go to the bridge
So I do not know if I told you, but this operation from the Market Garden, so taking the Arnhem Bridge,
was orchestrated by Marshal Montgomery
and apparently she was much disparaged, because a lot of people told him he should not do it
that there were far too many Germans, that the strategic positions were not good
but he listened to himself, apparently he was a little too sure of himself
And we will continue the story through the key points of this battle
It must be known that this whole operation has been made for the war to end at Christmas 1944
And that was Marshal Montgomery's plan
- Unfortunately, as you you doubt it, it was a total failure! - Since it ended in 1945!
The river that flows here is the Rhine, and before trying to conquer the Arnhem Bridge,
the English tried to block this one
I do not know if you see it, Kim filmed it, we'll put it to you
But when they arrived, the Germans had destroyed the bridge, and the English tried to join Nijmegen
which is just a little further, it's 20 km away, but we see it really well because it's relatively flat!
Because Nijmegen was a city liberated by the allies
The English tried to cross, they were waiting for boats,
there were about 200 English people waiting on the shore to cross the other side
- Unfortunately, boats do not could accommodate only 10 people - And there were not many!
And there were not many boats, so it was very slow to cross,
There are some English people who have tried to cross swimming, and that sank, others were successful
And in the meantime, the Germans who were in point of height, exactly where one is,
bombarded them from this point, thanks to the tower which is right next, that I will film you
And the English were completely under the fire of the Germans
The photo you just saw represents the men who arrived alive until Nijmegen
- After crossing the Rhine - And there's the same picture on the other side,
And you have to know that on this crossing, there was more than 2000 people who died ...
This place is called Westerbouwing, and the Germans were trying to push the English back to the river,
and the general who was at the head of these soldiers were a little crazy,
You have to know that it was a SS infantry, so really the worst!
- They were young soldiers, as Marianne says, - The general who was at the head of this command,
was a little crazy, and he sent hundreds of young men, certainly SS, but directly to death
Because in fact the English were positioned here in small holes,
There is a hole where he had English, finally an English with a submachine gun,
therefore machine guns, and there was a little everywhere
So there, exactly where there is Ruud, there was the English soldier!
And he saw SS soldiers running, young boys and he had only to strafe them actually
And it was a carnage, so there is a wave, after they went back the SS,
their commander, completely crazy, told them "You go back there, we are superior to all other races! "
While they were completely uncovered, the meadow makes them completely uncovered,
There is no tree, there is no bush!
And exactly where Ruud is, where there was the hole with the English soldier and the machine gun,
- We found, how many sockets Marianne? - Well, Ruud, who is doing research on the second world war
they found, in this hole there, more than 400 sockets!
You must know that all these stories are transcribed on both sides
That is, they found English texts, but also German texts,
And they crossed the stories, it's for we can talk about it with certainty
We go another point right away!
There we are on the south path to reach the Arnhem Bridge,
and here it was John Frost's regiment, so it was an English commander, who was with his troop
and who should join the Arnhem Bridge by the south road, this bridge has a crazy history,
- And we'll tell you - Besides, he still bears the traces
We'll show you that, it's a bit dark, sorry, but we'll go!
It should be known that there, the English walked, to go to the Arnhem Bridge,
So we just did exactly the same route than the one that the English did in 1944,
And the first man who walked forward, so the scout,
noticed that there was a vehicle of the army equipped with machine guns,
so they quickly got under the bridge and we can see on this wall all bullet impacts
Then the English decided to develop a strategy,
so they sent a small troop of men, six men, go over the bridge
to go destroy the jeep equipped with machine guns
The problem is that they came across soldiers Germans, they shot at them, they killed one
Two others stood up and said: "We surrender, we surrender!"
The six English soldiers wanting to recover them for the to make prisoners got up and went to see them
and that's when both German soldiers bent down,
and there was a machine gun behind who killed the six English soldiers
Among these six English soldiers, there were twins who are born 4 minutes apart,
and also died 4 minutes apart ...
- It's pretty amazing! - And it's after this massacre of the six soldiers English who had tried to cross,
that the Germans thought they could move on, so they have to cross the bridge,
and the English had put themselves in the little nook that's right there,
and they too have made sacred bullet impacts on the bridge!
This is the path that John Frost and his soldiers to go up to the Arnhem bridge which is there down
and hold it, the problem is that once they are here
there was a blockade of German with two machine guns to prevent them from going back
and there was also a blockade of Germans there, after buildings, to prevent them to go to the bridge
and what they did was that they threw smoke, to create an opaque wall for them to can go to the bridge!
And that's where they went on the bridge to hold it for four days, only 750!
They did not have to hold it normally only two days, more than 8000!
- So, here the story ends here! - You know everything about the Battle of Arnhem
- So it's a battle that lasted 10 days in all - The outcome of this battle is that the Germans won it,
and took the rest of the soldiers prisoner, so it was a German victory
But as we know, it is not they who won the war!
But it's not winning a battle that wins the war!
We hope you enjoyed this story, we thank Ruud for passing on his passion,
It's quite complicated to translate English, French, and not have a totally disjointed story!
In addition, we must remember everything very quickly, so it was pretty hard,
I hope it will be good enough, I hope you enjoyed this little piece of history
- If so, do not hesitate to put us a little like - Share if it may interest people around you
- There are drops on the lens, it starts to rain - We'll cut, we'll go eat!
We will continue to walk a little bit in Arnhem, and they make you big kisses!
