Red Devils of Arnhem - British Gliders Shot at by SS (1944) | War Archives

In this harrowing video footage of The Battle of Arnhem, the famous World War 2 British-led military operation that was ultimately a failure, the Brits planned to enter the Netherlands but met unexpected resistance from the 9th and 10th SS divisions. Reinforcements were sent via gliders with a paratroop regiment, but due to foggy conditions they arrived late and were shot down by the SS. Polish troops were late too and when they arrived were not strong enough in numbers to help to push the operation through.
