Mr Arnhem a bridge too far Part 3 of 9

September 1944. The Battle of Arnhem was one of the

most audacious but ultimately controversial battles of the

Second World War. Airborne drops in Holland were to

secure important bridges on the route to taken by ground

forces racing to gain a foothold across the Rhine. Had it

succeeded it might have ended the war by Christmas 1944.

Arnhem: A Bridge Too Far the True Story follows the route

of the 3 airborne divisions British 1st US 101st and 82nd

and presents new insights into the operation called Market

Garden. It also follows the 2nd Army in their drive up a

single narrow road to relieve the beleaguered British

airborne forces in Arnhem. Arnhem expert Brigadier Frank

Steer MBE provides a completely new and unique tour of

the battlefield and the drama that unfolded in the epic days

of the battle.

Very Interesting, I hope you learn something?
