  • Operation Market Garden WWII

    Operation Market Garden WWII

    Operation Market Garden WWII Operation Market Garden (17–25 September 1944) was an Allied military operation, fought in the Netherlands and Germany in the Second World War. It was the largest airborne operation up to that time. The operation plan's strategic context required the seizure of bridges across the Maas (Meuse River) and two arms of the Rhine (the Waal and the Lower Rhine) as well as several smaller canals and tributaries. Crossing the Lower Rhine would allow the Allies to outflank the Siegfried Line and encircle the Ruhr, Germany's industrial heartland. It made large-scale use of airborne forces, whose tactical objectives were to secure a series of bridges over the main rivers of the German- occupied Netherlands and allow a rapid advance by armored units into Northern Germany. Initially, the operation was marginally successful and several bridges between Eindhoven and Nijmegen were captured. However, Gen. Horrocks XXX Corps ground force's advance was delayed by the demolition of a bridge over the Wilhelmina Canal, as well as an extremely overstretched supply line, at Son, delaying the capture of the main road bridge over the Meuse until 20 September. At Arnhem, the British 1st Airborne Division encountered far stronger resistance than anticipated. In the ensuing battle, only a small force managed to hold one end of the Arnhem road bridge and after the ground forces failed to relieve them, they were overrun on 21 September. The rest of the division, trapped in a small pocket west of the bridge, had to be evacuated on 25 September. The Allies had failed to cross the Rhine in sufficient force and the river remained a barrier to their advance until the offensives at Remagen, Oppenheim, Rees and Wesel in March 1945.

    Background of the Battle of the Bulge 16 Dec 44 – 28 Jan 45

    First Division Museum Battle of the Bulge Resource Packet Section # 1, Page 1 Background of the Battle of the Bulge 16 Dec 44 – 28 Jan 45 The Situation After the invasion at Normandy on 6 June 1944, the Allied troops were moving quickly towards Germany to win the war on the Western Front. There was a debate over the best method to attack Germany. British Field Mar- shal Bernard Montgomery advocated a single-thrust strategy. Since the Allies had limited supplies coming in from their available ports, Montgomery wanted to concentrate those supplies with his army to allow him to move quickly into Germany and win the war. The danger of the single-thrust plan was that the German’s could get around Mont- gomery’s army. Supreme Allied Commander General Dwight D. Eisenhower favored a broad-front strategy, which was the strategy chosen for the offensive. The broad front strategy spread the Allied troops thin and moved slower than a single-thrust would have, but the advance kept all of the Allied line moving forward together. Obstacles Natural and man-made obstacles stood in the way of the Allied advance towards Germany. Natural obstacles included the Moselle and Meuse Rivers, the Vosges Mountains in Alsace, the wooded hills of the Ardennes, and the dense Hurtgen Forest near Aachen. Man-made obstacles include French defenses such as the old forts around Metz and the Maginot Line in northeastern France. The German Siegfried Line (the Germans called it the West Wall) and the Rhine River were also difficult obstacles for the Allies to get past.

    The Huertgen Forrest: the Necessary Battle By: Craig Bayer This Paper

    The Huertgen Forrest: The Necessary Battle by: Craig Bayer This paper was awarded the Loyola University History Award for Outstanding History Senior Thesis for the 2001-2002 Academic Year. PREFACE World War II histories about the European theater spend much of the time talking about the D-Day invasion, Operation Cobra, Market Garden, The Battle of the Bulge, and the final surrender of Nazi German. These events all occurred between June-September 1944 and December-May 1944-1945. Very little time is spent on the events that occurred between September and December of 1944. Before September the Allies had been doing many exciting things, opening up a second front on the beaches of Normandy, liberating Paris, and chasing the German Army across France. At the beginning of September, S.H.A.E.F, “Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force” believed that the German Army was on the brink of defeat. During the months of June, July, and August alone, the German Army had suffered 1,210,600 casualties in campaigns in the east and west. 1 It was during the months of September to February that the Battle of the Huertgen Forest occurred. 2 The Huertgen Forest, a wooded area of 50 square miles sits on the border of Belgium and Germany about 5 miles south of the city of Aachen. Not much has been written about the events that took place in the forest and there are several reasons. Operation Market Garden overshadowed the beginning of the battle and the Battle of the Bulge overshadowed its end. American forces did most of the fighting in the Huertgen and British historians, who wrote many of the post war histories, spent little if any time concentrating on the Huertgen.

    Patton and Logistics of the Third Army

    Document created: 20 March 03 Logistics and Patton’s Third Army Lessons for Today’s Logisticians Maj Jeffrey W. Decker Preface When conducting serious study of any operational campaign during World War II, the military student quickly realizes the central role logistics played in the overall war effort. Studying the operations of General George S. Patton and his Third United States Army during 1944-45 provides all members of the profession of arms—especially the joint logistician—valuable lessons in the art and science of logistics during hostilities. Future conflicts will not provide a two or three year "trial and error" logistics learning curve; rather, the existing sustainment infrastructure and its accompanying logisticians are what America’s armed forces will depend on when the fighting begins. My sincere thanks to Dr. Richard R. Muller for his guiding assistance completing this project. I also want to thank the United States Army Center of Military History for providing copies of the United States Army in World War II official histories and Lt Col (S) Clete Knaub for his editing advice and counsel. Finally, thanks go to my wife Misty for her support writing this paper; her grandfather, Mark Novick for his wisdom and guidance during the preparation of this project; and to his brother David, a veteran of the Third United States Army. I dedicate this project to him. Abstract George S. Patton and his Third Army waged a significant combined arms campaign on the Western Front during 1944-45. Both his military leadership and logistics acumen proved decisive against enemy forces from North Africa to the Rhine River.

Robinson, T oledo, OH 07-10-1919 06-02-1939 “Then came the big day when we marched into Germany - right through the Siegfried Line.”, ca. 1945. Retrieved from the National Archives’ Records of the Office of war Information 1926 - 1951 Collection. 2 SOLDIER DOSSIER | THE NATIONAL WWII MUSEUM ABOUT THIS BOOK The following pages offer a brief biography of First Lieutenant James Edward Robinson, Jr. World War II Veteran and recipient of the Medal of Honor. The Institute for the Study of War and Democracy has reconstructed his story from his Military Personnel File, papers provided by his daughter Dolores, and various other sources cited in Sources at the end of this book. In 1973 a fire destroyed millions of military records at the National Archives and Records Administration in Saint Louis, Missouri. Most of those records have been lost forever; however, some of the records have undergone extensive reconstruction. They are not perfect, but they do provide a great amount of information. In the case of James Robinson his file of 240 pages was burned severely in the fire. It has been reconstructed and the file which remains has scorched marks, water stains, and partial pages. It is not perfect and thus telling the story of James Robinson has been difficult at times; however, what we do have of the file is very rewarding and provided valuable information. At 240 pages the Military Personnel File of Lieutenant Robinson, is a rich file and makes it possible to determine a lot of his activity from the time he joined the Texas National Guard until he was killed in action on April 6, 1945, in Germany.
