Hanno,

The link you posted looks very strange. Something wrong with the filmers format. For a better quality film click HERE We are passing at 2:40.
It was a great day. Talked to some Veterans from KSB at Hotel Hartenstein. One of them was commanding two 6 Pr's at Arnhem.
He told me one of the Jeeps towing the 6 Pr's broke down on the way to Arnhem. He then removed the striker box and they left the gun and Jeep. At night they drove back with the other Jeep to collect the gun. Hitching the gun to the Jeep he got his finger smashed and was jelling in pain. His sergeant told him to keep it down for not waking the whole bloody German Army.... His finger is still crooked. It is the Veteran on the left.
