Field of Operations: The Battle of Arnhem

The incredible story of one of the most radical ideas of the entire second world war. Operation Market Garden was the plan that caused over 10,000 paratroops to be whittled down to just 2000. The plan to strike Germany directly by heading through Holland ended with Operation Berlin, signalling the failure of the mission. Operation Market Garden was the biggest combined ground and air offensive ever seen at this time of the war and is one of the most compelling episodes on World War II.
