| OMG Sept 1944 This is some footage from St.Michielsgestel, filmed by a Dutch civilian, (remember that this town was still under occupation), of Planes going over on Operation Market Garden. Not very clear I am afraid, but can you Imagine how these people felt, thinking they were about to be liberated, only to have to wait another month or more. Am still in process of trying to enhance it more.

 | That's a great film 51H - I can imagine the excitement (but fear of being caught with the camera too). Thanks

(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.) What did the Australians do in ww2 and other conflicts?
