I imagine most of us are very familiar with Operation Market garden, either from books, history lessons or films and may wonder what else we can learn about that magnificent, if ill executed battle. Well, maybe not a lot, but this dvd does explain much more than I already knew so perhaps it can do the same for others.
Operation Market Garden was designed to end the war by Christmas, 1944, to clear away the dreaded V weapons and seize the numerous waterways across Holland, and place the 2nd British army across the Rhine, thereby opening the road to the North German Plain and the road to Berlin; a bold and daring plan; had it worked.
It's not a secret that it didn't go as planned, and that the whole operation became chaotic, however this excellent dvd goes a long way to illustrating how it should have worked and explaining why it didn't.
