Arnhem, the capital, is known for its role in World War II (the Battle of the Rhine Bridge "A Bridge Too Far," which was part of Operation Market Garden).
It was September 4, 1944, the Allies liberated the last Belgium before they stopped at Antwerp due to supply shortages. All over Holland, German troops were dashing towards the German border. However, German Field Marshal Gerd von Rundstedt took advantage of this delay and reorganize the scattered troops into a formadible opponent. Allied Field Marshal Bernard Law Montgomery (Monty) made plans for a great airborne offensive - the largest airborne operation in history! On September 14, General Eisenhower approves the plan and the attack was scheduled on the 17th of September. Three airborne divisions and the British XXX Corps took part in this operation.
It was September 17, 1944, the skies of Holland was filled with gliders and parachutes. Their target was to hold five main bridges of the narrow highway between Einthoven and Arnhem before the XXX Corps come to relieve them. There were three sectors and limited time. If the Arnhem Bridge was in German posession when the XXX Corps arrive in Arnhem (64 miles from where they start their advance), the bridge will prove to be A Bridge Too Far! However, if it was successful, it could bring an end to the war before Christmas!
