  • Operation Market Garden
    Operation Market Garden Monty's massive cock-up... Compiled by Andy Owen Operation Market Garden (17–25 September 1944) was an unsuccessful Allied military operation, fought in the Netherlands and Germany in the Second World War. The operation was split into two sub-operations: Market - the airborne forces, the First Allied Airborne Army, who would seize bridges Garden - the ground forces, consisting of the British XXX Corps Market Garden contained the largest airborne operation up to that point. Field Marshal Montgomery's strategic goal was to encircle the heart of German industry, the Ruhr, in a pincer movement. The northern end of the pincer would circumvent the northern end of the Siegfried Line giving easier access into Germany. The aim of Operation Market Garden was to establish the northern end of a pincer, ready to project deeper into Germany. 1 Allied forces would project north from Belgium, 60 miles (97 km) through Holland, across the Rhine and consolidate north of Arnhem on the Dutch/German border ready to close the pincer. The operation made massed use of airborne forces, whose tactical objectives were to secure the bridges and allow a rapid advance by armoured ground units to consolidate north of Arnhem. The operation required the seizure of the bridges across the Maas (Meuse River), two arms of the Rhine (the Waal and the Lower Rhine) together with crossings over several smaller canals and tributaries. Several bridges between Eindhoven and Nijmegen were captured at the beginning of the operation. Lieutenant-General Brian Horrocks' XXX Corps ground force advance was delayed by the initial failure of the airborne units to secure bridges at Son and Nijmegen.

Meanwhile, British and American aircraft began the preliminary bombardment of flak positions and the landing zone areas for the airborne assault. In conception the material was to aid the Camberley Staff College battlefield tour of Arnhem. This was to have catastrophic consequences later. He lost two more vehicles to 'Jabos' in the wooded collection area near Barentin on the other side. These soldiers preferred after convalescence to return to their previous haunts; preferably in the same unit, where they could reunite with friends and serve under known officers. All the other units pulled out without firing a shot and we were left to cover them. Heinz Harmel, the former commander of the 10SS was still able, with a few gestures of hand and cigar over map, to give one of the most lucid accounts of the German perspective of the battles for Nijmegen and Arnhem I had ever heard.

  • Arnhem Article for War College Conference, May 1897
    A paper presented at the Second Conference on Intelligence and Military Operations U.S. Army War College (May 1987). DECEPTION AND OPERATION MARKET: SURPRISE DOES NOT MEAN VICTORY by T. L. CUBBAGE II, Major, MI, USAR (Ret.) _______________________________________________ INTRODUCTION On Sunday afternoon, 17 September 1944, at half past one, twenty thousand airborne soldiers of the First Allied Airborne Army landed behind the German lines in the Netherlands. Their task—in Operation MARKET—was to capture intact the bridges over the Maas (Meuse), Waal, and Neder Rijn on the Eindhoven-Arnhem road. About an hour later—in Operation GARDEN—the grounds forces of British 30th Corps attacked northeastward from the Meuse- Escaut (Scheldt) Canal toward Arnhem. The combined objective of Operation MARKET-GARDEN was to outflank the Siegfried Line—the German Westwall— and cross the Rhine River. Once that was accomplished, the Ruhr basin would be encircled as the prelude to a war-winning British led, Allied Forces, thrust to Berlin.1 Field-Marshal Montgomery considered the battle at Arnhem to have been ninety percent successful.2 Several others, following Montgomery's lead, and with some 1 What the Allies called the Siegfried Line the Germans called the Westwall.

  • M1035 Publication Title: Guide to Foreign Military Studies
    Publication Number: M1035 Publication Title: Guide to Foreign Military Studies, 1945-54 Date Published: 1954 GUIDE TO FOREIGN MILITARY STUDIES, 1945-54 Preface This catalog and index is a guide to the manuscripts produced under the Foreign Military Studies Program of the Historical Division, United States Army, Europe, and of predecessor commands since 1945. Most of these manuscripts were prepared by former high-ranking officers of the German Armed Forces, writing under the sponsorship of their former adversaries. The program therefore represents an unusual degree of collaboration between officers of nations recently at war. The Foreign Military Studies Program actually began shortly after V-E Day, when Allied interrogators first questioned certain prominent German prisoners of war. Results were so encouraging that the program was expanded; written questions replaced oral interrogation, and later certain highly-placed German officers were asked to prepare a series of monographs. Originally the mission of the program was only to obtain information on enemy operations in the European Theater for use in the preparation of an official history of the U.S. Army in World War II. In 1946 the program was broadened to include the Mediterranean and Russian war theaters. Beginning in 1947 emphasis was placed on the preparation of operational studies for use by U.S. Army planning and training agencies and service schools. The result has been the collection of a large amount of useful information about the German Armed Forces, prepared by German military experts. While the primary aim of the program has remained unchanged, many of the more recent studies have analyzed the German experience with a view toward deriving useful lessons.
