Story:
Operation Market Garden was an Allied military operation during the Second World War in the Netherlands from 17 to 27 September 1944. Its objective was to create a 64 mi (103 km) salient into German territory with a bridgehead over the river Rhine, creating an Allied invasion route into Germany. This was to be achieved by two sub-operations: Seizing nine bridges with combined U.S. and British airborne forces (Market) followed by land forces swiftly following over the bridges (Garden).
And epic battle has been raging over 3 days. 740 troops have held Arnhem, for twice as long as expected, against far heavier opposition than anticipated. The UK’s 1st Airborne Brigade is locked in a deadly urban battle with the 9th “Hohenstaufen” Division. A small industrial complex that sits on the flank of the John Frost Bridge is where the German forces are attempting to fix and destroy British paratroopers.
Objectives:
- HOLD – 1st and 11th Airborne Brigades must hold the industrial complex at all costs to stop the Germans flanking the remaining British units in Arnhem.
- BREAKTHROUGH – 9th SS Division is to break through the British lines in order to encircle remaining troops within Arnhem.
