| Mumford & Sons – Holland Road Lyrics | 9 years ago |
| @[Hazzy250:17421] I think that you are spot on mate. In WW2, the Allies made a bold move to try and secure passage into Germany. They initiated the largest Airborne operation in history with American and Commanwealth paratroopers dropping on cities along a highway in Holland. The British XXX Corps pushed up along the highway but were eventually stopped at a bridge near Arnhem. It was a major defeat for the Allies resulting in many men dying. I believe that this was the basis for the song. | |
