Germany.
M/S rear view Montgomery's motor caravan. C/U Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery speaking at war's end. Natural sound as he pays tribute to U.S. and Soviet Allies. He says difficult times may lie ahead, but discipline will pull people through for the benefit of the community. He says those who are left are thankful they have been preserved. Interior M/S as an army signaller works a Morse code key (natural sound) in an army truck. M/S interior tent on Luneberg Heath. Montgomery invites the high ranking German officers including General-Admiral von Friedeberg and General Kienzl to sit down. Some good shots as Montgomery dictates surrender terms to Germans and signs them.

Mr. Monty ,a very splendid gentleman .
Gosh. Hardy ever get to see this sort of thing! Thank you very much Pathe for tracking down and making available this to the world. Well worth the effort - thanks again.
RIP Field Marshal Viscount Montgomery.
The morse was," N RE OPERATIONAL AT 0800 ii 0800 HRS DBST ii DBST 5 MAY 1945 bt ar " The two letter i (dit dit, dit dit) known as a short break was used as a repeat prosign by the operator . BT (dah dit dit dit dah) is a long break, used to separate text from procedure and AR (dit dar dit dah dit) is the prosign for end of message. It was also used for end of work or no more messages.
Monty did not get a lot of credit for winning the North African campaign. It was easier to be Rommel getting all the media attention for being a dashing Desert Fox. But it was harder to be an unsung hero like Monty working hard quietly to pull off a stunning victory at El Alamein. Monty was really underrated.
Wow. Didn’t know this had been filmed.
Surrender all forces "in the air" as if there were any forces left in the air !
Alfa Won Yes. Well, the Allies would hardly dictate, 'the surrender of everything except for the enemy air forces because we've negated them already and so it would seem too much like hard work to bother to mention them now."
Wouldn't you agree?
Great Man!
Growing was told my gran served under him from Belgium to the surrender. Trying to find out more as her records are largely classified but before she died, she said she marched into Berlin with Monty. Intriguing to think as he speaks here, she might've been nearby working at his HQ.
Greatest Generation. Thank you Sir.
He held this speech on Timeloberg "Victory Hill" near my hometown Lüneburg.
There seems to be a lot more audio extant of Field Marshal Montgomery than of General Patton.
Monty, so actual in 2023.
British empire was alone
Did Monty have a lisp?
I don't think he had a lisp, but he seems to have had trouble with pronouncing R's.
Operatoration market garden field marshal
Operation Market Garden was actually the fastest allied advance against German opposition in the entire September 1944 to February 1945 period. It took 100km in just 3 days and did better than the other allied campaigns that same autumn such as the Lorraine, Hurtgen Forest, Alsace, Vosges, Operation Queen etc.
not his Andrew..planned by Brereton and Williams messed up by Gavin
Operation Market garden was not Montgomery's operation. Montgomery planned operation Comet but cancelled.
Pathetic comment, sorry .
Why did he always dress so casually?

Africa core
Stent
They wish to goo against the god or the same goes or so yhiasy is
Goo vs god
Montgomery was a bigger hindrance to the allied war effort than the Germans.
Dunkirk evacuation, victory in the North African campaign against Rommel, Sicillian Invasion, Commands in Italy, planning of D Day, Caen, Sigfreid line, Operation Market Garden, battle of the Buldge, to name a few. Yeah he was a massive hinderance 🤣
Ignorance and stupidity on full display.
Montgomery was the most successful Western Allied ground commander of WW2 by some way. He took more ground through more countries while facing more quality German opposition than any other Western Allied ground commander in WW2. Nobody did more to help win the ground war in the west than Bernard Montgomery.
I think you're talking about Patton
You need to read more military history.
