OPERATION MARKET GARDEN

Operation Market Garden was an unsuccessful operation by British and American forces to cross the Meuse, Waal, and Neder-Rijn rivers in Holland September 1944. British airborne forces were to capture vital bridges at Arnhem to open the way for an armoured thrust from the south. When the airborne operation failed, the armoured force was unable to reach Arnhem and the whole operation collapsed.
