Paul,
"A Bridge too far" sticks even more closely to the historical events.
I have the “Hohenstaufen” chronicle in my library and the film really follows the events of that time very closely.
But, you're probably right that certain sequences of the film are based on actual events in Remagen, but the "dramaturgy" of the individual characters is, in my opinion, just far too "lurid"...
Interesting that the film was actually allowed to be partly shot in what was then Czechoslovakia in the run-up to the invasion of Czechoslovakia by the Warsaw Treaty states!

I do love collecting my Bayonets and knives! I recently just bought a 1893 dated P1888 Lee-Metford Bayonet for 45 dollars while wandering a flea market. When my friend asked if I was gonna polish and sharpen it I just gave a blank stare and said 'never'. While I would love to carry some of my bayonets I dont think I could break in, sharpen or carry an original piece!
I spy these in the pictures off the top of my head.
-Remington WW1 Mark III Bayonet that is cut down.
-No. 1 Mark 5 bayonet
-Short Mark 3 bayonet?
-Ersatz Bayonet
-WW1 German Trench Knife
-WW2 German boot knife
-Ka-Bar with the crossguard bent up?
-French Legion Fairbairn dagger?
Cant wait to see you post them!

Blast, I can't believe I mistook a SVT bayonet for an Ersatz, I love you're Puma and Armeedolch especially!
I'll be sure to check out you're posts regarding each of these.
Its fun to look out for new bayonets to 'Keep sharp', I might have to go rewatch a Bridge too far now!
Thanks again for showing us your knives.
