Theirs is the Glory
about the battle of Arnheim
filmed in 1946 just a year after war's end,
on location in Arnheim, which was still showing the damage of the battle.
soldiers who had actually been there re-enacted the nine-day defence of the "ravaged Dutch town"
Canadian content:
Canadian war correspondent - Stanley Maxted- who was there - features in the film
there's a wiki article on him, I learned
Canadian engineers in small motorboats are credited with carrying out the evacuation of the remaining 2000 (out of 10,000 that landed by 'chute) on the ninth day of the battle.
