Theirs is the Glory DVD

‘Theirs is the Glory’ earned some of the highest critical praise ever afforded a British wartime docudrama.

This is the filmed record of the ill-fated and possibly the most harrowing battles of WWII – the Battle of Arnhem.

In September of 1944, when the Allied forces combined to force a total German retreat from Holland. The "bridge too far" at Arnhem proved to be the Waterloo of this particular strategy, due to a series of unforeseen mishaps and miscalculations.

Of the 10,000 troops engaged in the offensive, 8,000 lost their lives. Without sugar-coating the disaster, the film points out the courage and sacrifice of the men involved in the mission.

Brian Desmond Hurst directed ‘Theirs is the Glory’, with the majority of the cast made up of the actual survivors.
