Market Garden

[RICHARD ROMEO]

Don asked:  "Is that the same operation detailed in the book (and later 
film) A BRIDGE TOO

FAR?"

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yup.  A Bridge Too Far, that star-studded, cigar-chompin wreck, blud fest 
of 3 1/2 hours.  Good ole Corny Ryan-loved his books when I was wee-pant 
wetting lad.  I used to know all the code names for operations,((all OKW 
(don't ask me the full German) codes were colors: blue, white, yellow 
which I beleive represented Norway, the Low Countries, and France--god 
knows why I remember this-ask me the name of the four Japanese carriers 
sunk at Midway)).  fwiw, my favorite wwii movies:  Battleground (1950);  
The Young Lions (1960?); 12 O'Clock High (1950 something); Das Boat 
(1981?); Soldier of Orange (1970 something).
