Have a Market-Garden Army?




If you are putting together a British Para or Airlanding company for a Market-Garden battle (or any force from that period), you'll definitely want to check out "Theirs Is The Glory".

It is a 1946 film cast with British vets that actually fought there. The film utilizes original wartime footage, as well as footage filmed in Arnhem and surrounding areas less than two years after the battle took place! What a great reference for terrain and building modellers.

Enjoy!

  1. Thanks for the hint! I actually collect PzLehr (or simply make my models PzLehr) but this will surely be some interesting footage!

    BTW: You can view or download it from here (legally) for free:

  3. Thanks for the link! I was in Arnhem last year to visit and even picked up my para company at a great store in town. Ok, I also bought Frost, Recon Jeeps, HMGs and 16 pdrs...
