Following on from the highly acclaimed "Americans on D_Day" Ellwood Von Siebold now takes us to Holland to tell the story of the Americans on Hell's Highway in September 1944.

In a remarkable film, Ellwood's energetic style tells the story of the push for the Rhine bridges in Holland, to reach the final objective of linking up with the British at Armhem.

Ellwood travels in his Dodge command car , he takes us on a ride in a Sherman tank, across the Waal river by boat, cross streets and rooftops in Nijmegen and explains in his inimitable action packed way, how all the American objectives were achieved, but how the any jubilation was short lived, as the British advance stalled on the north side of the Nijmegen bridge and the courageous paratroopers of the British Ist airborne division, who had held out against 2 mighty SS panzer divisions for 10 days and were never relieved. Failures of intelligence , tactical blunders and a complete underestimation of the enemies will to fight all feature heavily in this production. We are joined by veterans of the campaign whose first hand on the ground experiences, will bring a sobering reality to the film
With unseen archive footage, re-enactment ,special effects and music from John Addison (A Bridge too Far) this is a truly exceptional fim.

The Americans on Hell's Highway will be another unmissable tour on The American road to VE Day.

The Americans on Hell's Highway is an outstanding military dvd.
