‘RETURN TO ARNHEM’
This past September marked the 80th Anniversary of one of the most famous battles of WWII: the doomed attempt by the British 1st Airborne Division to capture the famous road bridge over the Lower Rhine at the Dutch city of ARNHEM. This was part of Operation Market Garden, devised by Field Marshal Sir Bernard Montgomery, to seize a series of major bridges and secure a road route for the British XXX Corps to advance up through occupied Holland and open a direct front into the Ruhr, Nazi Germany’s industrial heartland. If successful, Montgomery believed the war might be over Christmas 1944.
Unfortunately, the plan fell apart in Arnhem.
Due to be released in NOVEMBER 2024.
