By early september 1944, the Germans were in full retreat with Wehrmacht units
streaming back to the Fatherland in complete disarray. However, German commanders
were beginning to reorganize a defence line just as the Allied advance stalled due
to lack of supplies. Montgomery argued that a single attack should be on his line
of advance through Holland and on to Germany. His plan, code name "Market Garden"
called for an Allied Airborne Army consisting of three Airborne Divisions to seize
a series of five bridges over a one hundred kilometer stretch through Holland. The
final bridge, to be taken by the British and Polish paratroopers at Arnhem, would
get the Allies across the Rhine and into Germany. Can you succeed where Montgomery
failed?
