Thirteen years earlier. Paris, August 1992
“It’s incredible isn’t it,” Steve exclaimed, “how no one’s thought of it yet?” As he’d already pointed out, the Earth had been circumnavigated using everything from sailboats, to airplanes, to hot air balloons. Yet the purest, most ecologically sound method of all and doable for centuries, without using fossil fuels, was still up for grabs. “It may even be an original first!” he continued excitedly.

This twin DVD set covers the Garden component of Operation Market Garden. The plan was for airborne forces to drop on the series of bridges in the Netherlands that lay between the Allies ground positions and the German frontier.
An absorbing and inspiring story of great courage and tenacity that is not to be missed.
The presenters provide a graphic account of the ground troops battle towards Arnhem and provide fresh insights into what was an operation that did much to advance the Allies dash for victory. There were mistakes, there was bad luck, there was heroic action and there were successes. That Market Garden came so close to achieving its objectives justified the attempt.
An absorbing video that adds to the appreciation of the conditions after the first landings as the Allies fought to break through the German defenders and race towards Germany and the end of the war. With the humour for which the British Army is well know, the proven ace gunner Ekins was never again allowed to serve as a Firefly gunner.
