"On March 24,1945, most memorable of days, the airborne crossing of the Rhine at Wesel by the British 6th and American 17th Divisions-a 200-mile stream of tugs and gliders... With a glider in tow the final stages were like a slow approach to Dante's Inferno. Dust, gunflashes, columns of oily smoke, burning aircraft and paratroopers and glider troops going down into battle while we turned for home."
