NETHERLANDS: Allied paratroops being dropped over the Netherlands on 17 September 1944, heralding Operation Market Garden. This was the largest airborne operation since D-Day. RARE PHOTOGRAPHS of a botched military operation which was memorialised in controversial Hollywood blockbuster ???A Bridge Too Far??? have emerged 75 years after the infamous battle. Operation Market Garden, a military maneuverer conducted in September 1944, was supposed to see US and British troops sweep through the battle-weary Nazi forces which were occupying the Netherlands, proceed to liberate Arnhem and its key infrastructure, open a back door into Germany, and bring the war to close by Christmas. This was one of the most audacious and imaginative operations of the war - and it failed. Graphic images show German soldiers laying dead in the street, hundreds of allied paratroops being dropped on Nazi-occupied land unaware that they would be desperately outnumbered and outgunned, and the devastated remains of a Dutch city which served as a battleground for Europe. The striking images are included in military historian Anthony Tucker-Jones??? new book The Battle For Arnhem 1944-1945: Rare photographs from the wartime archives, a dramatic insight into all sides of the remarkable but ill-fated Operation Market Garden which has fascinated historians and been the subject of much controversy ever since.
