OPERATION MARKET GARDEN September 17th to September 25th 1944 “all but one…” BZ, SG, AP

What does this even mean? Let's find out! Short Thesis Allies built the building, but forgot the foundation. What does this even mean? Let's find out! BEN

Thesis The overconfidence of the Allies gained after forcing the Germans back into Belgium led to poor preparation and execution of Operation Market Garden, resulting in the failure at Arnhem and eventually the Operation, ultimately extending the length of World War Two. BEN

Timeline - all in September 1944 21st Some British Troops reach Arnhem, rest set up defensive position west of Oosterbeek 19th British 30th Corps reached the Americans but efforts to break through to Arnhem fail. 17th Operation Market Garden Starts Americans stopped from entering Nijmegen 18th 20th The bridge at Nijmegen was captured by a combined US/GB assault. AKHIL

British Tanks delayed by German attacks 24th 22nd British Tanks delayed by German attacks 23rd Attempt by Poles and 30th Corps to cross river at Arnhem fail 25th Remnants of British 1st Airborne Division are withdrawn over the Rhine AKHIL

Overconfidence... AKHIL

Background Involved: Britain/US/Poland vs Germany Germany beaten @ OP. Overlord (Maps of History) Allies push ahead, push Germans back through France and Belgium Pushed to the Siegfried line Spur of victory = overconfidence = proposition of Operation Market Garden (Bentley) AKHIL

Influential People - Allies Bernard Montgomery Dwight D. Eisenhower Proposed the Operation Plan scaled down after criticism from Eisenhower (Sandvick) Supreme commander of the Allied forces Approved Operation after it was limited to sufficient parameters (Sandvick) [5] [6] AKHIL https://www.britannica.com/biography/Dwight-D-Eisenhower - dwight https://dailyhistory.org/Why_did_Operation_Market_Garden_in_1944_fail%3F

Influential People - Axis Erwin Rommel Gerd von Rundstedt Lead the resistance against the Allied forces (Bentley) Field Marshal Took over after Rommel gets injured (Bentley) [7] [8] AKHIL

Poor Preparation... BEN

Goals of the Operation OVERALL - finish war early by outflanking the Germans (Badsey) Bypass the Siegfried Line by going around the Northern end - Lower Countries (Maps of History) Cross the Rhine (“Operation Market Garden”, NAM) Gain access to Ruhr Valley, Germany’s industrial heartland (“Operation Market Garden”, NAM) BEN Where else have we seen the speculation that a certain war would end quickly, but ended up taking much, much longer? Answer to the question - WW1 - thought the war would end extremely fast due to resource depletion Why would this be so important? Answer to the question - the Ruhr valley is important because it is Germany’s source of income, and taking that away would be catastrophic

Map [3] [1] BEN

All except Arnhem... STEVEN

Part 1 of 2 - Market, the Air Who: 101st and 82nd Airborne divisions (Wilson) Strategy: Air dropping of troops Objective: Airborne units would seize key bridges/choke points on/near the Rhine river (“Operation Market Garden”, WW2) Overtake the following bridges (Maps of History) Meuse Waal Rhine [2] STEVEN Why do you think taking bridges is important? Answer to the question - controlling the bridges goes for easy transport and maneuvering of troops [4]

Part 2 of 2 - Garden, the Ground [9] Who: British XXX (30th) corps mostly Strategy: Ground troops link up bridges that the paratroopers took over Objective: Secure gains made by airborne troops and move towards the north (“Operation Market Garden”, WW2) Arnhem Bridge is the most important bridge to capture [10] STEVEN Why do you think it would be the most important? Answer to the question - as seen on the map, arnhem is the last bridge that if taken would allow the allies Northern access into Germany, which would be a major advantage [3]

Problems with the Operation Some idiot officer carried OP. Market Garden plan with him into battle, Germans find out (Hastings) First drop - only one group goes down “The lightly armed airborne forces were totally unprepared to deal with enemy armor units” (Dunnavent) British don’t have the ammunition to counter German tanks (Maps of History) STEVEN

Problems with the Operation Failure at Arnhem: A small force from the 1st airborne division eventually reaches Arnhem and tries to defend North end of bridge (Hastings) Troops need support from Allied Ground troops, but they are delayed numerous times (Hastings) Funneled through a single road area known as the Highway of Hell and Germans pick them off like fish in a barrel (Sandvick) When the ground force arrives, the troops already there are pinned in the city (Hastings) German artillery proves to be too much and there are not enough anti-tank weapons, food, or ammunition (Fielder) STEVEN

Extending the War...

Results Allied forces evacuated back from Rhine, although many were left behind (Hastings) ALLIES LOST 18,000 Allied troops died or were captured Liberated a part of the Netherlands (Ellis) BEN https://ww2db.com/battle_spec.php?battle_id=52 Ellis, Major L. F.; with Warhurst, Lieutenant-Colonel A. E. (2004) [1st. pub. HMSO 1968], Butler, J. R. M., ed., Victory in the West: The Defeat of Germany, History of the Second World War United Kingdom Military Series, II, Naval & Military Press, ISBN 978-1-84574-059-7

Significance - Why is this OP. Important? Allies’ ego is set straight - no more speculation about war ending early (it wouldn’t) Another 6 months of fighting Allies would have to fight on a broad front (National Army Museum) Up to that point in the war, it was the largest airborne operation in history STEVEN/AKHIL
