BBC Battlefields " Monte Cassino "

I'm normally all for protecting Copyright material on the web but at the moment I can't afford to buy anymore DVDs books etc so I just spent a good hour watching it.
Funny to hear a German Para Veteran with a Northern British accent describing the Kiwi tank attack up the Cavendish Road.
The program all means so much more having now I've been on there myself.

I've seen that, the Geordie FJ vet cropped up on a few other shows, very strange combination isn't it.
