Operation Market Garden

Operation Market Garden was the largest airborne operation ever launched in history.
The plan called for the American 101st Airborne (Screaming Eagles) to land near Eindhoven and secure bridges in Son and Veghel, while keeping the main highway open and secure to allow the British 30 Corps Armor to advance into Holland. The 101st also fought in towns near the main road such as Nuenen in the southeast, and Schijndel in the northwest.
The American 82nd Airborne (All Americans) landed in Groesbeeck and was tasked with taking the main bridge at Nijmegen and securing Grave Bridge to keep the main road open. After 30 Corps linked up with them, the 82nd were supposed to help open the Island Road to the north, and to see 30 Corps on their way to Arnhem.
The British 1st Airborne (Red Devils) were to land in Oosterbeck, then proceed as quickly as possible to secure both sides of the Arnhem Bridge over the Lower Rhine. 30 Corps wwas supposed to link up with the 1st Airborne, cross the Lower Rhine, and make a big right turn into Germany.
The entire operation was supposed to be completed within 48 hours.
The reality however, would prove different...

@panzergrenadier1941 WHAT. THE. FUCK!!!!!!!!!!??????? We Brits only win when America does most of the fighting? Should be the other way around. E.g1 : The Battle of Britain: There were only 7 yanks in the Battle - and guess what? Britain still won. Yes admittedly this was with a lot of help from occupied countries and the colonies but still proves my point. E.g. 2: The Falklands war: 0 yanks and Britain still wins despite being on the other side of the World. E.g 3: Vietnam: 0 Brits.......

I'm little unclear as to where the Air Force was during the whole debacle. You could never operate a land force in any war with planes constantly bombing you ass off. ?????

@1dschamp In world war 2 you couldn't just call in some air support. The US army didn't have dedicated FAC's until late '44, and even then, they were a regimental asset. Planes were not available at night, in low visibility, in overcast conditions, when it was raining, when there was sufficient AA fire, or the threat of enemy aircraft.
In Holland, we ran into all of that stuff.
