Abstract
Operation ‘Market Garden’ was initiated by Allied forces on the 17th September
1944, ending on the 25th of the same month. Up until that point of the Second World War, it
was the largest airborne landing to have ever been undertaken. The main aim of Operation
‘Market Garden’ was to open up an invasion route for the Allied forces into the north of
Germany from the Netherlands. In order to do this, the operation sought to capture and
cross a number of bridges over a series of rivers and canals, including the Rhine and the
Maas. The first part of this operation - ‘Market’ - involved the landing of paratroopers in
proximity to these bridges in order to capture and secure, awaiting part two of the
operation. ‘Garden’ involved the movement of heavier units from Belgium, up through the
Netherlands, relieving the units holding these bridges (See Source 0.01, 0.02, 0.03).
