Background material for "Market Garden Operation"

It’s a pretty good film. It’s about the "market garden" operation in Bob, a more adventurous long-distance circuit led by the British Army (Montgomery’s initiative, mentioned in the film but not shown), hoping to bypass the heavy defenses. The German-French border (Siegfried Line), from the expected weak Dutch territory, passed the Rhine into Germany, in order to end the war before Christmas 44 (September 1944).
Many superstars just feel that their failures are also caused by too many stars. Everyone has to have a role, and the film is messy.
But after reading a lot of information on the map, I figured out the course of action (unfortunately the map could not be posted):

three cities, two rivers
from south to north: Eindhoven (Eindhoven, the second largest football club in the Netherlands) Location), Nijmegen (Nijmegen, translated into Nijmegen, there is a special film about the Nijmegen Bridge) and destination Arnhem (Arnhem, translated as Anhen in the film); on the

German-French border The Rhine in the east of Arnhem turns westward and divides into two waterways: Waal (Waal) and Nederrijn, the former is located north of Nijmegen, the river is wide, and the latter is located south of Arnhem. Crossing these two rivers, you can go up the Rhine (to the southeast) and enter the Ruhr Industrial Zone in Germany.
In order to cross the two rivers smoothly, the key to the action was to keep the two bridges on the two rivers. Therefore, the airborne troops of the US and British armies went into battle. The British First Airborne Division’s goal is the Arnhem Bridge, the U.S. 82nd Airborne Division (FIXME) is the Nijmegen Bridge, and the 101st Airborne Division’s mission is to ensure a smooth road from Belgium to the Waal River (that’s why there is the Eindhoven station in the Bob Eindhoven. The welcome and subsequent retreat).
Due to various reasons (mainly because it happened that the German army had a SS armored division on vacation near Arnhem and Nijmegen), the action was frustrated. This was also the first large-scale failure of the Allied Forces after opening the second battlefield-the Nijmegen Bridge was fortunately saved. (The explosives in the film failed), and the Arnhem Bridge was destroyed. The British First Airborne Division, the farthest from the battle line, suffered heavy losses. Only one of the three battalions arrived at the bridge and surrendered after dealing with the armored division for 4 days (the original plan was more than one day, FIXME) in isolation. Anthony Hopkins plays the battalion commander John Frost, and there is a statue of him in Arnhem after the war.
