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.

BRITISH PATHÉ'S STORY
Before television, people came to movie theatres to watch the news. British Pathé was at the forefront of cinematic journalism, blending information with entertainment to popular effect. Over the course of a century, it documented everything from major armed conflicts and seismic political crises to the curious hobbies and eccentric lives of ordinary people. If it happened, British Pathé filmed it.

Now considered to be the finest newsreel archive in the world, British Pathé is a treasure trove of 85,000 films unrivalled in their historical and cultural significance.
The Battle of Arnhem, 1944, taken from the British Pathe newsreel "Red Devils of Arnhem".
