| Operation Market Garden is one of the most controversial and misunderstood major offensives of World War II in the European Theatre of Operations but that hardly diminishes its importance. The Americans on Hell's Highway is a battlefield tour film conducted by the passionate historian Ellwood von Seibold , which will place you in the heart of the battles that raged up and down the 50 mile stretch of road , which was described by General Maxwell Taylor , as being like "defending the railroad from Indian attacks in the wild west". You will hear from the men who fought a battle-hardened enemy , desperately defending the borders of their crumbling Reich .You will see how paratroopers from the 82nd Airborne crossed the Waal river at Nijmegen in canvas boats ,to valiantly seize the Northern end of the Nijmegen bridge , whilst under continuous fire , you will hear from Captain T.Moffatt Burriss, who was in the lead company of the attack and lost 50 per cent of his men .With unseen archive footage , The Americans on Hell' Highway is an unmissable tour on 'The American road to Victory'. |
