Pretty nice. Uniforms are too clean but who the hell cares...WW2 back in the limelight.

Thanks for posting. Looks very nice indeed. What a coincidence for me seeing this clip today, September 17, which just happens to be the anniversary date for Operation Market Garden.

I'd say the uniforms looks accurate. The British even have the black leather straps for the Paratrooper helmets (this requires some effort to acquire. As far as I know, these aren't readily available anywhere). Both the Germans and the British can get away looking "clean" at this stage. It looks like the British just arrived in battle, just venturing into the forest, that's why they can still look fresh. The Germans on the other hand were in Holland trying to get R&R after fighting in France. They were caught by surprise when Operation Market Garden fell upon them, so, they may have been issued fresh uniforms. From my point of view, overall looks and authenticity are great. I like it.

This one came out about 2 years ago. You guys have probably seen it already. It is "Thinking Of You" by Katy Perry.



There's a personal connection for me here because I know some of the actors and dancers seen in the video. Some of them are my Swing dance teachers (who are my friends on Facebook and from where I've "liberated" the following photos). Here are the ones they took behind the scene.
