This talk about stopping to have tea and socialise with the Dutch is utter rubbish. Evey time I hear this fairy tale, or see it posted. The writer continues to broaden what is a absolute pack of lies...It never bloody happened.
I took part in Market Garden and crossed the Escaut canal in what can only be described as a blody nightmare of an assault crossing.
Every soldier in that offensive, was acutely aware of the need for haste. That is why we took on a murderous assault at one in the morning. It is also the reason why we kept bashing Northwards, even though we had been cut off on the road behind, without food and cigarettes ,We lived off the food we captured and kept going.
Those people here, and elsewhere that continue to spread this stupid tale about TEA are making a mockery of all those men that gave their lives on this vain attempt to get to Arnhem.
Brave men died in the attempt STOP SELLING THEM SHORT!
