This is a battle case that is worth pondering for future generations.
"Market-Garden". It is planned to adopt the airborne "leapfrog" tactic, with a total of 35,000 people from the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions of the US Army, the 1st Airborne Division of the British Army, and the Polish Parachute Brigade, in turn in Eindhoven, Nijmegen, and the 63-mile battle depth. Arnhem was airborne in three places, seized the bridge on the Rhine River, and escorted the ground advancing corps like a "baton" to the Ruhr area in the hinterland of Germany.
I've all seen massive airdrops, in which the British felt deep behind enemy lines, and both bridges were held, both paratroopers desperately held until the Army arrived, at a heavy cost, but failed to end the war before Christmas.View more about A Bridge Too Far reviews
