Battlefield - Arnhem. Operation Market Garden.
This episode tells the tragic story of the 'bridge too far' and the ill-fated 'Operation Market Garden' - the Allied Operation that was supposed to end World War Two in 1944. Montgomery's rather fanciful conclusion that Market Garden was '90% successful' was hardly supported by the facts. The operation was an unmitigated failure.
