What American Troops Said After Seeing British Paras at Arnhem

In September 1944, American soldiers of the 82nd and 101st Airborne watched the British First Airborne Division hold on at Arnhem for nine days against two SS Panzer divisions — with no relief, no artillery, and almost no ammunition. What they saw changed them. This is the story they never stopped talking about.
