A powerful and authentic account of one soldier’s war from Tobruk to Arnhem and all points in between.
John Humphreys was just a boy soldier in the Royal Engineers when war was declared in 1939. By the war’s end he had jumped into Arnhem with the Parachute Regiment to spearhead the attack on the bridge. For days Humphreys and the rest of his squad held on, outnumbered and outgunned by the German army fighting to the last bullet and refusing to surrender.
But the Bridge Too Far is only the climax of Humphreys’ remarkable war. Twice captured as a prisoner of war, he twice escaped from the enemy to make his way back to Allied lines in order to rejoin the fight.
Aged 101, Humphreys began to pen his extraordinary story, with the help of bestselling author and former paratrooper Stuart Tootal. The Last Para is Humphrey’s parting gift, and the final time we will read an account from a soldier of our Greatest Generation bearing witness to the heroism and sacrifice of this legendary action – told with incredible honesty and irrepressible spirit.

I grew up in Arnhem. Its city centre, and that of Nijmegen, were flattened by the aerial bombing of the western allies. These bombings had no (rational) military objective. A thousand Dutch civilians were killed, and many more lost their homes, simply because the allies didn’t want to fly their bombs back to the UK after a failed mission into Germany. They could have bombed the SS HQ in the Netherlands, just 9 miles north of Arnhem. But no, they deliberately
targeted Dutch civilians.
History is written by the victors, and so this shameful act is the Arnhem story that never gets told.
(Apologies for this rant. I’m not blaming individual soldiers who heroically sacrificed their lives for a worthy cause.)

@Thamus
Get help, seriously.

@Thamus they were trying to bomb the nazi positions and fortifications defending the road through and around the bridge before the paras got there, but those planes had a mile wide impact possibility and not precise so the town got what they tried to avoid. That’s for those who read your comment and possibly thought it might be true,
