YouTube Description
as posted by the channelSecond World War historians and podcasters James Holland and Al Murray visit the Oosterbeek Airborne Cemetery, the final resting place or commemoration site of more than 1,600 Allied soldiers killed during the Battle of Arnhem in September 1944. Al and James explore why the stories of those who commanded and fought in the failed Operation Market Garden have captivated us down the generations. They also search for the real-life soldier who inspired a key character in Richard Adams' best-selling novel Watership Down, a story of brotherhood, loyalty and loss.
