A Bridge Too Far

A Bridge Too Far

The paratroopers are like jellyfish
soldiers who learned from a child living in the Netherlands that there was a tank ambush on the road, but the coach did not want to let the plan have any influence, so he concealed the intelligence. But it was this ambush that caused the Allied tanks and soldiers to suffer heavy casualties. Fortunately, the air force dropped bombs to blow up the ambush. can only succeed
due to communication equipment originally used only collected from arid desert did not receive test in a humid environment so are mostly invested in the German occupation of the British 1st airborne division area when aircraft dropped them all the failures of supplies in the Netherlands can only look on in despair
The best way to capture the bridge is to capture both ends. I need someone to lead the soldiers across the river. He needs to be tough, experienced, and clumsy. Is there any news on that side? We do know they will not know how many know nothing about other floating vessels, and how much water too fast-flowing river is very wide if I am willing to say so more good news is rowing the boat
they occupied Nijmegen bridge to Anaheim tanks stopped when Tim Executive said advance because not let the tanks and other ground forces must clear the way
doctors recommend wounded German soldiers received their retreat the Germans agreed to pretend priest voluntary defense doctors left for the insurance officer ordered his men injured
persons enumeration retreat It was found that there were only less than two thousand airborne divisions with 10,000 people left

    The movie is so old...

  • Pattie 2022-03-25 09:01:10

    In addition to the inevitable "death too fake" in that era, the war scene is really first-class, super-first-class, with the full support of the Ministry of Defense of so many countries, that scene is really awesome, even filming traffic jams makes people scream. But such a theme is not suitable for a gathering of stars, and it is not the founding of the Normandy Landing that can be enjoyed by the family. As far as I understand, the market garden plan is a typical textbook of failure that can be used for reference by all departments and departments due to lack of research, lack of coordination and lack of emergency plans. But this film not only needs to slap the foreheads of high-level officials and throw the cauldron, but also shows that the grass-roots officers and soldiers are always looking forward to death, and they also need to make gags to complain. is redundant), it is really scattered and the narrative is unclear. Where are so many bridges hit and why these people appear here without a Baidu Encyclopedia for reference is indeed a bit difficult to figure out. Maybe this is one of the typical movies for military fans.

A Bridge Too Far quotes

  • Field Marshall Gerd von Runstedt: Let's get to the point. Air power?

    Major General Gunther Blumentritt: Air power, Field Marshal...

    Field Marshall Gerd von Runstedt: Briefly, please.

    Major General Gunther Blumentritt: Air power is minimal.

    Field Marshall Gerd von Runstedt: Ammunition?

    Major General Gunther Blumentritt: Also minimal.

    Field Marshall Gerd von Runstedt: Tanks, troops, replacements?

    Major General Gunther Blumentritt: Minimal.

    Field Marshall Gerd von Runstedt: Morale?

    [Blumentritt hesitates, then says nothing]

    Field Marshall Gerd von Runstedt: [sighs] Nonexistent.

  • [Horrocks is about to brief his XXX Corps on Operation Market Garden]

    Lt. General Horrocks: Gentlemen, this is a story that you shall tell your grandchildren, and mightily bored they'll be.

    [the entire corps laughs]

    Lt. General Horrocks: The plan is called "Operation Market Garden". "Market" is the airborne element, and "Garden", the ground forces. That's us.

    [Horrocks points to a map behind him of Holland, showing the positions of the Allied forces, and the path the Corps will take]

    Lt. General Horrocks: Now, this is our position on the Belgian border, here. Tomorrow, three airborne divisions will begin landing in Holland. 35,000 men taking off from 24 airfields in troop-carrying planes or towed in gliders. The American 101st, here, around Eindhoven, the American 82nd, here, south of Nijmegen, and our own 1st airborne boys, and a Polish brigade, here, at Arnhem, 64 miles behind enemy lines.

    [the corps murmurs at the details of the operation]

    Lt. General Horrocks: [Continuing with the briefing] Now, their job is to take and hold all the bridges in these three areas. Our job is to punch a hole through the German front line, here, and then drive like hell up this road, linking up with each airborne division on the way. Speed is the vital factor. The plan is to reach Eindhoven in two to three hours, and Arnhem in two to three days. That, gentlemen, is the prize - the bridge over the Rhine, the last bridge between us and Germany. Kickoff will be at 1435 hours tomorrow afternoon. The Irish Guards, under the command of Colonel Vandeleur, will take the lead.

    Lt. Colonel J.O.E. Vandeleur: [whispering to his adjutant] Christ, not us again.

    Lt. General Horrocks: [Hearing Vandeleur's statement to his adjutant] What do you say to that, J.O.E?

    Lt. Colonel J.O.E. Vandeleur: [getting up from his chair and addressing General Horrocks] Uh, delighted, sir. Truly delighted.

    [the corps erupts in laughter again as Horrocks smiles. Vandeleur sits back down]

    Lt. General Horrocks: Now, I've selected you to lead us not only because of your extraordinary fighting ability, but also because in the unlikely event that the Germans ever get you, they will assume from your attire that they've captured a wretched peasant, and immediately send you on your way.

    [the corps laughs at Horrocks' comments]

    Lt. General Horrocks: Now, maintaining the speed of our advance will no doubt be tough going, as it's a single highway. But no matter what, we must reach those 1st airborne boys in 48 hours. Now, gentlemen, I'm not saying that this will be the easiest party that we've ever attended, but I still wouldn't miss it for the world

    [pauses]

    Lt. General Horrocks: I'd like to think of this as one of those American western films. The paratroops, lacking substantial equipment, always short of food - these are the besieged homesteaders, the Germans, well naturally, they're the bad guys, and XXX Corps, we my friends, are the cavalry, on the way to the rescue.

    [the room bursts into applause]
