Well all I can say is: "Thank God they're our Allies!" Loved Ambrose's book on the Pegasus Regiment's drop in Normandy.

My great grandad was captured at arnhem after being shot in his foot, he was taken to a prisoner of war camp and kept there for 8 months. I've recently come into possession of his silk escape map given prior the jump into Holland. Learnt he has a mention in dispatches and also have a letter talking of the pegasus journal entries that he documented. I'm very keen to get in touch with the national archives to learn more about his history and to donate the escape map as I'm sure any museums would serve it greater honor than I ever could.

God Bless The British Army & Thank You!

This Regiment IS the best in the army. Did a little time with some of the guys years back. Brutal, dangerous. Yes. But totally committed, focused, emotionally content and friendly. Many of my family were Paras. My oldest uncle was at Arhnem, as a kid of 18. Dad did the 50's & 60's. Cousins 70's - 2000's. Totally sound, reliable, selfless people. That always give a shit. Indeed. As one drill instructor once said. " We don't do things for our own honour.Or the Parachute Regiments. But in the service of others"

I remember every day the fear I felt and the pain of seeing my comrades lose their lives or suffer life changing injuries.I for one deeply regret the fact that I had to take another mans life over a piece of land. However if I was in the same circumstances I would do it again for my freedom.You are obviously a politocally motivated individual as your general train of thought seems to be to hate the British. . Never forget that brave men gave their lives in all these conflicts, and continue to do so, so we can all live our lives free from oppression.

As much as I love this series, I wish they showed more of the 1st Airborne, they were in North Africa, Sicily and Italy before the 6th spearheaded D-Day.

I served 18 years in the parachute regiment mostly in 2 para, after transferring from the welsh guards. It a whole different world, in regard to soldierly professionalism, camaraderie, and a total different ethos which will be the biggest betrayal to the people who previously served and to the people lost on operations.

Best Regiment bar none except for UKSF. Wish I had seen this 10 years ago. I passed P coy 1986. Best thing I ever did. Hard work but worth it. Then went on to UKSF(R) even harder work but worth it. Wish I could go back and do it all again.

The members of the Royal Marine Commandos and the Parachute Regiment are woven from the same fabric and all though they are woven in slightly different patterns all though still very similarly, both are woven with same amount of skill and the end result becomes of the same quality, so to speak. So, it is silly to fight when comparing the two. Almost all nations in the World have two elite units that are of the same skill, one is usually amphibious and one is usually airborne, but both are of the same quality.

Maybe the Swedish national spirit is different from that of the United Kingdom, but I believe that most of that is friendly competition and that there is nothing deep seated in it.

I remember 16 paras in the nineteen fourtys had an accident (ATS) and the ambulance lads took me to a male para hospital you can imagine the comments of the lads inside, eventually I landed up in the married womens hospital in Chatham my bump was lower than theirs!!

We have a pub locally in Colley Gate, West Midlands called The Whitley. Iirc it is the only one in the UK bearing that name. It still goes by it but due to a recent re-vamp the iconic sign with a nighttime Whitley bomber no longer hangs outside which is a shame. In addition I have occasionally heard the Maroon berets referred to as a 'Daphne' and never knew why - now I know. The references came from Paras of vintage WW2 not from todays recruits.....

+purple brain I think that what you saw was some fictional wartime propaganda. The first British parachute drop in WWII was to capture an airfield in Tunisia deep in the enemy's rear. The paras were then supposed to be relieved by ground troops. That did not happen and they had to fight their way back to friendly lines through over twenty miles of rough ground. In doing so they were forced to leave behind some of their wounded which were then captured by German (not Italian) forces. Not quite what you claim but that is the truth of the matter. Other than in the aftermath of Arnhem, that is the only record of British paras surrendering in WWII (or anywhere else for that matter).

just started watching this, i did parachute reg ,, seems what was a life time ago,, but think il do the pathfinders course soon to relive it (pathfinders ex para's jumping for charity, not to be mixed up with "the actual pathfinders" lol) oh yea in milling we never had helmets lol

Apparently in the 1940's, or thereabouts, a bunch of them went into Swindon town centre and smashed shit out of the place. Their punishment for that was that the regiment would never be a Royal regiment for a 100 years.Not sure if it's true but if it is, those poor bastards must have spent their whole lives in regret over a couple of hours fun.

I've heard a lot of serving soldiers slag off and take the piss out of the Royal Marines. The Royal Marines are hard fuckers, their training is bloody hard and I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of and attack by a Company of Royal Marines. They are an elite.
