Publisher Description

Featuring extensive footage drawn  from the training films and newsreel cameras of both sides, this enhanced eBook offers a powerful account of an immortal episode in the history of warfare.  The enhanced eBook reviews the complex set of military operations played out in the Netherlands during September 1944 involving the forces of Britain, Canada, Poland, the USA and Germany, providing a wide selection of primary sources covering each of the belligerents.


Featuring the previously unpublished war diary of Captain Graham Davies, this edition brings a new perspective on the often overlooked contribution made by the artillerymen in support of both Operation Market and Operation Garden.


The German viewpoint is covered by the contemporary newspaper account translated from the pages of “The Westkurier”. The report was filed by war reporter Erwin Kirchhof and provides a powerful insight into the events of the battle as filtered through the prism of Goebbels’ propaganda machine.


Two extracts from the official accounts of the 101st Airborne and 82nd Airborne Divisions give an indication of the strong conviction still held in the US camp that the operation had been a complete success.


Finally, an excerpt from the official account of the British First and Sixth Airborne Divisions, shows the British point of view of the battle of Arnhem.
