Operation Ridge 2020 extended footage
E Company, 16th Infantry. Crossing the Roer River, 25 February 1945
Operation Ridge 2020.
Around the start of February each year the 1st are invited to participate in Operation Ridge which takes place in and around Darley Dale. It's one of the largest private re-enactment events in the UK, in which both Allied and German groups participate.
Chris Morris joined the U.S forces on this event, and acted as a combat photographer. He produced the magnificent video below.
All of the footage was shot during Ridge 2020. I think it highlights the enthusiasm of all groups involved, and their passion to accurately portray the infantry men of the 1940's
