REMEMBRANCE
Operation Market Garden
September 1944
A turning point in the Second World War – a gamble by Field Marshal Montgomery in which three airborne divisions were to seize the bridges across the great rivers of Holland and unleash the Allied armies into Germany. If the bridges had been captured and held, and if the ground forces had been able to relieve the airborne forces, then the War might have ended by Christmas 1944. Instead the operation went disastrously wrong. Hear what happened in an extraordinary story.
