The Great Crusade (US WW2) - #6 - 1ST MAIN

  ++MISSION BRIEFING++

"If in years to come any man says to you 'I fought at Arnhem', take off your hat to him and buy him a drink, for this is the stuff for which England's greatness is made." - Alan Wood, War Correspondent Daily Express. 24th September 1944

On 17 September 1944, the 101st Airborne Division became part of XVIII Airborne Corps, under Major General Matthew Ridgway, part of the First Allied Airborne Army, commanded by Lieutenant General Lewis H. Brereton. The division took part in Operation Market Garden (17–25 September 1944), an unsuccessful Allied military operation under Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery, commander of the Anglo-Canadian 21st Army Group, to capture Dutch bridges over the Rhine fought in the Netherlands and the largest airborne operation of all time.

Our part in this operation is to perform an airborne drop and secure and hold the bridge in Chef du-Pont in advance of the Allied armoured advance with XXX Corps (30 Corps) from the east. Our intelligence on the area indicates that the Garrison of the town is light however the some of our Dutch Allies have reported German armour being concealed in the woods to the west though these reports are largely unsubstantiated. As well the Chateau de Bosson to the North appears to contain a larger contingent of German Motorized infantry. This operation is to take place as soon as the necessary elements can be prepared and launched.

What is the God damn holdup Mr. Sobel?
