Market Garden failed. Not because roads are narrow in Holland, not because British 30 Corps was slow and not because there were two German Panzer Divisions in the area. It failed because this bridge in Nijmegen was captured too late. Read/buy my two books.

Never saw so graphically how dangerous these operations were. The plane in upper left-hand corner is flying *very close* to the firing line of the camera plane. #WW2 #HISTORY

"The most dangerous were the first and last five trips. During the whole war, 51% of aircrew were killed on operations, 12% were killed or wounded in non-operational accidents and 13% became prisoners of war or evaders. Only 24% survived the war unscathed." #WW2 #HISTORY
