75th anniversary of Operation Market Garden

[Disoriented]

Time to reflect on the bravery of the parachutists in Arnhem 75 years ago.

They are dropping in a veteran in tandem with a para. I hope they get him a bit nearer the target this time. Brave fellah. They did a great job defeating a Dictator who grabbed power and brought his country to it's knees eventually. ( wait a minute- perhaps they could do a job now).

Time to reflect on the bravery of the parachutists in Arnhem 75 years ago.

And to reflect on the folly of Montgomery in suggesting the operation. My Great Uncle is in Valkenswaard Cemetery because of that man.

A brave and honourable fella. I also echo your views on Montgomery - an arrogant and incompetent leader to be sure.

My great uncle was in the paras and flew in as part of the glider group. I have a letter that he wrote about it, very moving. He goes on to talk about what happened next and the loss of great friends, so sad.
