Operation Varsity was the last major airborne offensive of World
War II and remains the largest and most successful single-lift drop
in history. Conducted by the American 17th and British 6th Airborne
Divisions, the goal of the operation was to cross the Rhine River
and gain a foothold in Germany. The Last Drop details the horrors
of parachuting through flak-filled skies, the dangers of piloting a
glider safely to the ground, and the struggles of infantry combat,
and shows how thorough training, extensive planning, solid
execution, and sheer guts combined to make Operation Varsity a
stunning victory.
