19:38Now PlayingAl Murray and James Holland are at the John Frost Bridge in Arnhem where paratroopers from the British Airborne Division fought a desperate, bloody battle with the Germans forces as they waited in vain for XXX Corps to arrive during Operation Market Garden in September 1944. ✅ SUBSCRIBE
They tell the incredible story of one of Al's heroes of the second world war, the resolute Captain Eric Mackay of 1st Parachute Squadron who led a brave last stand in the school house next to the bridge with a piece of shrapnel embedded in his foot, as well as Lieutenant Colonel John Frost (immortalised by Anthony Hopkins in the 1977 film 'A Bridge Too Far') and the heroes of the 2nd Parachute Battalion.
