In September 1944, flush with success after the Normandy invasion, the Allies confidently launched Operation Market Garden, a wild scheme intended to put an early end to the War by invading Germany and smashing the Riech's war plants. However a combination of battlefield politics, faulty intelligence, bad luck and worse weather led to disaster.

  • sherman fireflys were already used in this campaign?

  • @00Zeb22300 Yes they were indeed, probably one of the best allied tanks of WWII, apart from the T-34.

  • I feel kinda sad about that german general, when he laments how he will never be able to field such a impressive force.

  • @Geense1963 i was in Dordrecht the other day (followed the Market-Garden route and i stopped there for lunch on my way to Eindhoven) and the owner of the bar i was at said a similar story, he was 8 at the time but he remembers it like it was yesterday. Indeed a great story

  • @stikowsky Don't you mean until the War Between the States? When Sherman's troops ravaged the South, burning down 200 year old farms, raping women and slaves, shooting defenseless men and women, stealing property, and destroying towns and railroad lines? (Nope, I'm not bitter. Just proving a point)
