WW2 Pod: We Have Ways of Making You Talk
British Band Of Brothers: The Fight For Point 103 (Part 3)

You've got to have

WW2 Pod: We Have Ways of Making You Talk
British Band Of Brothers: The Fight For Point 103 (Part 3)

the sort of consolidation, the build-up, and then you've got to grind down your enemy and create that breakthrough.

WW2 Pod: We Have Ways of Making You Talk
British Band Of Brothers: The Fight For Point 103 (Part 3)

And that has to be done with the infantry divisions supported by vast amounts of artillery.

WW2 Pod: We Have Ways of Making You Talk
British Band Of Brothers: The Fight For Point 103 (Part 3)

And this is where the independent armoured

WW2 Pod: We Have Ways of Making You Talk
British Band Of Brothers: The Fight For Point 103 (Part 3)

brigades come in because they are offering fire support for those infantry divisions.

WW2 Pod: We Have Ways of Making You Talk
British Band Of Brothers: The Fight For Point 103 (Part 3)

And the reason why the Sherwood Rangers get so many battle honours is because they're always in battle.

WW2 Pod: We Have Ways of Making You Talk
British Band Of Brothers: The Fight For Point 103 (Part 3)

Yeah.

WW2 Pod: We Have Ways of Making You Talk
British Band Of Brothers: The Fight For Point 103 (Part 3)

WW2 Pod: We Have Ways of Making You Talk
British Band Of Brothers: The Fight For Point 103 (Part 3)

Yeah, exactly.

WW2 Pod: We Have Ways of Making You Talk
British Band Of Brothers: The Fight For Point 103 (Part 3)

Leap of 200 miles.

WW2 Pod: We Have Ways of Making You Talk
British Band Of Brothers: The Fight For Point 103 (Part 3)

And interestingly, the Sherwood Rangers is the junior regiment.

WW2 Pod: We Have Ways of Making You Talk
British Band Of Brothers: The Fight For Point 103 (Part 3)

Always is, even though it's more experienced than others that come in.

WW2 Pod: We Have Ways of Making You Talk
British Band Of Brothers: The Fight For Point 103 (Part 3)

So it goes in regular army in terms of seniority of age.

WW2 Pod: We Have Ways of Making You Talk
British Band Of Brothers: The Fight For Point 103 (Part 3)

And then it comes the TA afterwards.

WW2 Pod: We Have Ways of Making You Talk
British Band Of Brothers: The Fight For Point 103 (Part 3)

Yeah.

WW2 Pod: We Have Ways of Making You Talk
British Band Of Brothers: The Fight For Point 103 (Part 3)

Yeah, which is actually how it's always been done.

WW2 Pod: We Have Ways of Making You Talk
British Band Of Brothers: The Fight For Point 103 (Part 3)

So they're blue.

WW2 Pod: We Have Ways of Making You Talk
British Band Of Brothers: The Fight For Point 103 (Part 3)

They're little symbols on there.

WW2 Pod: We Have Ways of Making You Talk
British Band Of Brothers: The Fight For Point 103 (Part 3)

Depending on the squadron, you have a little diamond, you have a triangle, you have a square and a circle.

WW2 Pod: We Have Ways of Making You Talk
British Band Of Brothers: The Fight For Point 103 (Part 3)

And they're in blue.
