British Battalions TRAPPED in Market Garden's Deadliest Battle | With Al Murray & James Holland

World War II historians Al Murray and James Holland are in Arnhem walking in the footsteps of the British parachute battalions whose brave but badly coordinated attempt to reach John Frost at the Rhine bridge (the infamous “Bridge too Far”) ended in devastating failure in September 1944 as part of the illfated Operation Market Garden. ✅ SUBSCRIBE

James and Al discuss how the Germans managed to reinforce their positions in Arnhem so rapidly and why a “bottleneck” of converging roads on the edge of the town created an insoluble problem for the British troops -- a bad situation made worse by the disappearance of their general at the height of the battle.
