Today in History: Operation Market Garden Begins On this day in 1944, the Allies launched Operation Market Garden, one of the largest airborne assaults of World War II. From September 17–25, Allied forces fought to seize key bridges over the River Rhine and push into German-occupied territory in the Netherlands. The operation led to the liberation of cities like Eindhoven and Nijmegen, along with dozens of towns and villages along a 60-mile corridor through enemy lines. Pictured: Private Thomas

(Rare) Operation Market Garden Footage: This is (real) footage that is used in the 1946 movie "Theirs Is The Glory", they asked the survivors (soldiers and civilians like the "Angel of Arnhem" Kate Ter Horst) of the actual operation to star in the movie to get the most authentic documentary feel for the movie. This was all shot in the ruins that were Arnhem and it's surrounding area (Oosterbeek) with still destroyed/disabled vehicles in the old battlefield. | British & Commonwealth Forces
