WW2 historians James Holland and Al Murray retrace the final stretch of the British 1st Airborne Division’s defensive perimeter around the Hartenstein HQ in Oosterbeek during the Battle of Arnhem. They visit the White House where the King's Own Scottish Borderers held the northern edge against a fierce German advance, and find evidence of where the Borderers dug in on the western side of the perimeter. They finish at the Oude Kerk, where Lonsdale Force regrouped before evacuating across the Rhine and discuss how close the Germans came to overwhelming the last British soldiers and reflect on the bravery of those who fought to the bitter end of Operation Market Garden.
