Video Description
On the 17th of September 1944, Operation Market Garden began. The British 1st Airborne Division landed near the town of Arnhem. Of 10,000 men that dropped in only 2,000 made it back. So, what happened? Why did the attack on Arnhem go so disastrously wrong? To answer that question, we’ve teamed up with Airborne Assault, the Regimental Museum of the Parachute Regiment and British Airborne Forces.
