Last Orders! British 1st Airborne RETREAT to The Oosterbeek Perimeter | Operation Market Garden

Join WW2 historians James Holland and Al Murray on a walking tour of the Oosterbeek Perimeter, a pivotal battleground in the Battle of Arnhem during Operation Market Garden. This horseshoe-shaped defensive line, centered around the Hartenstein Hotel—serving as the divisional HQ—was the last bastion for British and Polish airborne troops fighting valiantly against German SS forces for nine grueling days. James and Al navigate the Oosterbeek perimeter route, uncovering sites of fierce conflict, heroic deeds, and essential locations like the Oude Kerk, where the Lonsdale Force held their ground, the Tafelberg and Schoonoord Hotels which operated as a field hospital amid intense clashes. Discover the remarkable story of Major Robert Cain's Victoria Cross action, as he bravely confronted a German tank and anti-tank gun single-handed, and half-blind! #almurray #jamesholland #ww2history #walkingtheground #marketgarden #arnhem #oosterbeek #abridgetoofar
