A Bridge Too Far - Opening Advance

Wenn sich mehrere Alliierte zusammen tun ist es keine Leistung die Wehrmacht zu schlagen

Thisi is to threre army

The tactic may be old, but its still effective against static positions.

Knowing how films of the 70s were made, all of the vehicles, ordnance, and bullets were using live rounds

Can’t even imagine the waivers these actors had to sign 😂

good war

My favorite WW2 movie of all time

It’s like playing the video game “Company of Heroes” on Steam especially with the creeping barrage!

Watching this with British Grenadiers from GuP playing in the background is something to behold

Redacted ... Taxes

I wonder how communicate each other within Allied Forces although different many languages..

The Germans were still dislplayed as either stupid or fanatics, not real people which is regrettable as it would have made the movie truely timeless. But the battle scenes were quite realistic. I like the German voices in the background! "Es wird nur auf Befehl gefeuert"

For this scene the director did not tell Michael Cain what was about to happen and NO computer special effects in sight

BRILLIANT Portayel of The FULL SCALE HORROR of H.EXPLOSIVE Destruction And The GERMANS IRON COURAGE !!!UNDER HEAVY Fire !!!THEY Were SOLDERS !!!g

Heinz Guderian !!!The MASTER of Tank WARFARE Said HE Had FACED It ALL !!!But THE BRITISH CREAPING !!! WAS HELL ITSELF ?????😳g

The Creeping Barrage must be one of the scariest tactics to face, imagine a wall of explosions coming right at you.

HLL server

just what in heavens name are those planes ( at the end of the clip ) ( meant to be ) ?!!

I like how they actually remove destroyed tank out of the way

Reminds of recess on the playground in 5th grade.

DANI : ARTILERY FIRE! FOWARD!

Start the purple! Start the purple!

One hell of a battle. First the British make their presence felt by heavy artillery barage which did some damage to the German positions only for them to quickly return and counter with their own heavy barrage from their dug out positions against the moving British armor inflicting heavy causalities which forced the British to call for back up from the air. The support from the fighter bombers became too much for the Germans, and they surrendered

i watch this scene about twice a month never seen a better rolling barrage!

I love the obvious creeping artillery barrage that none of them took cover for until they finally got hit.

So sad this movie - especially after reading the book traitors at Arnhem.. the tanks were never meant to get to Arnhem

Why didn’t the Germans shoot back

No CGI! Incredible directing imho.

Too bad the didn’t have the 75mm or 105mm Sherman’s for HE effectiveness for getting rid of infantry and anti tank emplacements.

amazing fire discipline from the German batteries as they are being walked up

Arguably one of the most realistic-looking artillery barrages in movie history. In his book of the same name upon which the movie was based, former war correspondent Cornelius Ryan (who also wrote "The Longest Day") relates how the initial artillery shots were indeed exploding only a few hundred yards ahead of the advancing ground forces, as seen here, then were "walked" forwards.
I highly recommend Ryan's books. As a war corespondent, he was present during both the D-Day operation and Operation Market Garden (the subject of this movie). His research was exhaustive and his non-fiction is outstanding.

Those guns are firing real shells but on a range. They were then cleverly edited into the movie to give us this very dramatic scene.

In this engagement how any of the Germans are still left to surrender is beyond me...

I like this film so much because Robert Redford is my uncles friend.

I think the British artillery was firing live ammo for those filmed segments. (I’m not saying they were firing live ammo at actors) but I noticed the recoils of the British artillery canons were more instantaneous where as there’s much more of a delay in every other cannon used, including the German guns.

Great film

My favourite war film.
