With Germany being pushed back across Europe the Allied forces
looked to press their advantage with Operation Market-Garden, a
massive airborne assault that, if successful, could have shortened
the war in the west considerably. The ground advance consisted of
an armoured thrust by the British XXX Corps, while the US 82nd and
101st US Airborne Divisions secured the bridges at Eindhoven and
Nijmegen and the British 1st Airborne Division and Polish 1st
Airborne Brigade were tasked with seizing the final bridge at
Arnhem to secure the route. What they did not realise was that the
9. SS and 10. SS-Panzer Divisions were nearby, ready to reinforce
the local garrison and fend off the Allied assault. Focusing on the
role played by these British and Polish troops, Ken Ford examines
Operation Market-Garden in its entirety, from the early planning
through to the early setbacks and eventual catastrophic conclusion.
