My dear Fiancee's uncle played a part in this movie. He played a German general, don't know which one. It's been a long time since I saw it. Great cast.

Carl, the Cav.'s officer's name van Vandenleur. He and his cousin (nephew?), both the same name and both commanding an cav. unit in the push for Arnhem.

The reason why the doctor and his wife (Liv Ullman and Lawrence Olivier) wheeled their cart away is because after the battle the Germans ordered the evacuation of the whole city (and surroundings). Most of the Arnhemmers ended up in the north of Holland. The fighting had been fierce and a part of the city had been demolished (especially north of the bridge and in Oosterhout, where the British 1st Airborne had their HQ and were battered by the tanks of 2 SS div's). Besides that the city was a frontline city now. I think there has been some speak as the Germans ordered the evactuation out of some kind of revenge, but I couldn't tell you anything about that.

An very interesting movie is THEIRS IS THE GLORY, which was taped in 1946 when the 1st Airborne Div. went back to the ruined city of Arnhem and played themselves in this movie!
Knowing that many of the soldiers you see here actually fought in the battle makes this a very special movie. It was taped in 1946 on the ruins of Arnhem. I have it somewhere on tape, but the quality is not very good. If you find it somewhere, pick it up!
