I saw this movie as a kid with my Dad. We've always been fans of WWII movies and original motion picture soundtracks. My Dad passed away three years ago and I always get emotional when I hear this. A beautiful arrangement.

[dereklundy]

I was in the 82nd Airborne Division when this movie came out. C co 1/325 Red Falcons Ft. Bragg, N.C. 21YRS OLD.

[GAJ]

One day I'm going to play this all the way from Leopoldsburg to Nijmegen. My great uncle was in the Green Howards 6th battalion 50th Tyne Tees division XXX Corps and died on 15.11.44 in Nijmegen.

[jamespressman]

And to think the composer actually took part in Operation Market Garden .Hits the mood of expectation, early exultation then the sadness at its climax . A Fantastic score and this rendition magnificent .

[Traxcod]

As a British man, I am extremely proud with the whole operation’s participants.

[leedscab]

Went to the 60 anniversary events of operation Market Garden in 2004 in Oosterbeek near Arnhem and had a Veteran cry in front of me and all I could was give him a big hug and say these guys will never be forgotten.

[fmagalued]

I don’t get tired of listening to one of the best orchestration ever made.

[joshshaffer]

Hearing this as a canadian gives me pride and makes me think of my reanactment.

[WMJCPA]

This was the best part of the whole film, the theme.

[stevemurtagh]

One of the best military tunes ever !! ☺️

[jackc.]

To those who disliked this song, we do not have the facilities to take you all prisoner.

[bergef]

Hearing this as an American sends chills down my spine! Great job!

[JonPorter]

This is how the national anthem is meant to be played, as a rousing military march by a band. Not warbled off-key by some pop singer who doesn't have the vocal range for the song.

[jonoeschger]

A classic military movie score. Right up there with Patton, The Great Escape & The Devil’s Brigade.

[bobbetreyes]

its my favorite soundtrack .it reminded me of my father watching this movie together when I was young.

[raineradler]

Super toll gespielt Ihr Eisenbahner. Glg Rainer aus Schwarzenbruck bei Nürnberg Bavaria

[sander]

very nice! I love that movie, thank you for this performance, really

[charlesmorton]

The composer was actually in the advance to Arnhem with 30 Corps

[johnnybrighton]

Presumably an amateur band, but migod they give it heart. Apart from the movie soundtrack theme, this is my favourite version.
