Thank you, Waddy.
:28:23
Thank you, gentlemen.
:28:26
Do sit down, gentlemen.
Please sit down.
:28:31
Look after these.
:28:39
Thank you, gentlemen.
Thank you.
:28:43
Gentlemen, this is a story
that you will tell your grandchildren...
:28:48
and mightily bored they'll be.
:28:51
The plan is called
Operation Market Garden.
:28:55
Market is the airborne element,
and Garden the ground forces--
:28:58
That's us.
:29:00
Now this is our position
on the Belgian border here.
:29:04
Tomorrow, three airborne divisions
will begin landing in Holland--
:29:09
thirty-five thousand men
taking off from 24 airfields...
:29:12
in troop-carrying planes
or towed in gliders.
:29:15
The American 101st here...
:29:19
around Eindhoven...
:29:21
the American 82nd here...
:29:24
south of Nijmegen...
:29:26
and our own 1st Airborne boys
and a Polish brigade...
:29:29
here at Arnhem...
:29:32
sixty-four miles...
:29:34
behind enemy lines.
:29:38
Now, their job
is to take and hold...
:29:42
all the bridges
in these three areas.
:29:45
Our job is to punch a hole...
:29:48
through the German
front line here...
:29:51
and then drive like hell
up this road...
:29:54
Iinking up with each
airborne division on the way up.
:29:59
Speed is the vital factor.
