If you go to Battlebook.com you can watch this 80 minute re-creation of the battle at Arnhiem. It was shot one year after the war using the actual participants. It seems as tho the British Paras pulled out all the stops to document their actions there for posterity. Very good historical viewing. Sorry, but I'm practically a computer illiterate, and I dont know how to make a "link" for you. :(

Tey used actual German tanks filming it, and knocked them out with live rounds for the movie in a few seems. Well worth the watch.

The Tiger II was the original one left at Oosterbeek. They just set it on fire again for the film.

Tey used actual German tanks filming it, and knocked them out with live rounds for the movie in a few seems. Well worth the watch. There's a great scene of a Panther moving and firing, albeit with a prominent hole in the side of the turret from when it was knocked out the first time.
