A Bridge Too Far Part 7

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.

Once again another example, it doesn't matter how good or crappy your tanks are, it's air power that really matters.

Only have I'm afraid, the rest had to suffer trough a winter of starvation. Which was so bad the Germans had to allow allied droppings of food just to keep the population alive.

@MisterKleinheit

I don't think your are correct.It was the opinion of the German General staff if the initial objectives of Barbarossa had been adhered to, victory was possible.Of course Hitler changed these objectives and the rest is history.......
