Operation Market Garden

Operation Market Garden (17–25 September 1944) was an ambitious Allied military operation, planned and predominantly led by British forces, and fought in the Netherlands and Germany during World War II.

The operation aimed to secure a series of nine strategically vital bridges, allowing Allied forces to advance rapidly into Germany. The final and most crucial bridge was the one over the River Rhine in Arnhem. While Allied airborne and ground troops successfully liberated Eindhoven and Nijmegen, they were ultimately unable to hold their furthest positions in and around Arnhem—including the Rhine bridge—making it, famously, “a bridge too far.”
