Monty's Magnificent Disaster

Monty’s Magnificent Disaster

 Operation Market Garden was an airborne assault on the Netherlands in the autumn of 1944. It was an ambitious attempt to get into Germany by Christmas crafted by British Field Marshal Montgomery. It was believed and communicated that the Netherlands was occupied by a weak German force, but were quickly bolstered once the operation began. 

The operation turned out to be a logistical nightmare because of terrain, a coalition force, and difficulties with reinforcing. The Luftwaffe and RAF met over the fields of Holland with the Luftwaffe mostly utilizing night fighter and bomber tactics.
