  • Airborne Assault
    Operation 'Market Garden' A Bridge Too Far Campaign by nemesszili Can you reach the Bridge Too Far, while battling the Germans on Highway 69? Historical Background Following the grandiose Operation Overlord, the Allies left behind the nightmare of the 'Bocage'. The Germans were exhausted, but still held key positions in France. When the Allies finally succeeded in trapping the 7th Army and the 5th Panzer Army, and Operation Diadem, the invasion of Southern France was also a success, the Germans were forced to leave France, and prepare for the defense of the Reich, and other key positions in occupied Holland. Belgium was also liberated, along with Antwerpen, a large dock, which could be used by the Allies as a supply base for further operation. However, dense mines and V-2 Rockets, not mentioning the shore battery on Walcheren, denied the use of this port, and the Allies needed quickly supplies needed for attacking towards the Rhine. Only the 'Red Ball Express' helped something, but was not enough. So Germany had to be defeated quickly and decisively, so the supply problem could not endanger the Allied cause. Montgomery found the solution first, but this plan was pretty risky. He really underestimated the German strength in the area, not observing the warning of the Dutch Resistance, who warned Allied High command about the presence of German armored forces in the area. However, 'Operation Market Garden' was initiated on September 17th, 1944. The plan had two major phases: Firstly, the 1st Allied Airborne Army, composed by the 101st American Airborne Division (Screaming Eagles), 82nd American Airborne Division and the 1st British Airborne Division.
