A war hero who famously photographed flicking a V-sign at his German captors after being taken prisoner at Battle of Arnhem 75 years ago has died.<br />
<br />
Liuetenant Jack Reynold's plucky act of defiance towards his captors provided one of the most iconic images to come out of doomed Operation Market Garden.<br />
<br />
The officer and his men were overrun by the Germans three days after 10,000 British airborne troops landed behind enemy lines in Holland in the audacious operation.<br />
<br />
As they were being marched away Lt Reynolds spotted a grinning German cameraman shooting video of the vanquished Brits.
