P.S Obvious real german tanks, live fire in the background for effects too, including crack thumps from allied and german MG....and interesting to see unquestionable provenance items being worn and best ON the original vets!

The movie "Theirs is the Glory" made in 1946 and apparently using many of the survivors. It is readily available on DVD and has been for a number of years. You might even find it in your local video store, I did. I'm sure that you will mention of it within the forum.

Released in 1946, but filmed on location in Arnhem & Oosterbeek during August and September 1945.
XXI Independent Parachute Company alone provided between 100 and 250 personnel for the filming, those being posted to the Arnhem Film Unit from occupation duties in Norway, many of them veterans of the battle. All told, the veterans taking part in filming came from many 1st Airborne units, including XXI and other parts of the Parachute Regiment, Royal Engineers, Royal Artillery, RAMC, RASC, Recce Corps and the GPR, each of whom were "rented" from the Army by Rank films at three pounds per man per day.

All the best,
