Operation Market Garden, a ten day battle during World War II, that took place in the fall of 1944.B The main objective was to try and take the bridges that led across the major rivers of the German sieged Netherlands which would allow the American Allied forces to continue through Germany without large obscurities right after 10 am on a Sunday, from the airfields over the southern portion of England the greatest armada of troop transporting plane ever created for a single operation took to the sky.

Market Garden would be merely a accident and time buying of our eastward charge to the border we needed for short safety. On the flank C line was the lower Rhine. To stop that obstacle would have left us in a very exposed position, particularly during the time Montgomery would have to concentrate large forces on the operation located on Walcheren Island. D Parachutes were the primary tactic for this battle. The idea was to take them by surprise and come from both of the major pathways possible, Air and land. Garden was the attack from land while market was the attack from the sky or also known as a air raid.
