	Battle of Arnhem - Operation Market Garden
		The Battle of the Arnhem was part of Operation Market Garden, an audacious plan by Field Marshall Montgomery to thrust across the Rhine, the last natural barrier before entering Germany.
		The final bridge at Arnhem, the ultimate goal of Market Garden, was entrusted to General Roy Urquhart and his 1st British Airborne Division.
		The efforts of the 1st Airborne, holding Arnhem for four days and resisting at Oosterbeek against superior enemy firepower while equipped with insufficient supplies and ammunition and enduring severe lack of sleep was nothing short of heroic.

	Operation Market Garden (Battle of Arnhem)
		Montgomery instead suggested an attack north to Arnhem, deep inside the Netherlands, which would bypass the Siegfried Line (which stopped about 20km south of there), cross the Rhine, and capture the entire German 15th army behind their lines between Arnhem and the shores of the IJsselmeer.
		By this point much of the battle area was now in allied hands, and it appeared all of the problem was at the north end of the line with 30 Corp. As soon as the 43rd arrived things would be in better shape, and the Guards Armored could attempt to retake the Arnhem bridge.
		There seems little reason to suspect the same wouldn't have been true of Arnhem and Nijmegen, but with the troops over an hour's march away, or told to do other things, there was little hope of their success.

	Operation Market Garden September 17 - 27 1944
		The British 1st Airborne Division's landing zones were on the heathland west of Arnhem, and their targets were the road bridge in the town centre, the railway bridge out to the west on the lower Rhine and a pontoon bridge (which was discovered to have been dismantled on the eve of the operation).
		In Arnhem, 2/Para was in a strong position vis-à-vis SS-Kampfgruppe 'Knaust' (part of 'Hohenstauffen') who the Germans found to be formidable opponents and would require artillery support to blast them out of their positions.
		At Arnhem itself, 2/Para was slowly being ground down by artillery and air attacks and issues such as protecting the wounded, ammunition, food and water had all become pressing.

		A fact-based novel about the Battle of Arnhem and Oosterbeek, taking the reader from the quiet Lincolnshire base of the Airborne right into the inferno that was Arnhem.
		Both Churchill and Montgomery were keen to commit this elite force into battle, but the speed of the allied advance after D-Day forced the cancellation of 16 operations, until Market Garden offered the opportunity to send the paratroopers into action.
		His childhood memories of rural wartime Lincolnshire and the recent 60th anniversary of the Battle of Arnhem led him to write this novel, in tribute to the men who fought there.

		From a military perspective, it was important to establish a base of operation north of the Rhine near Arnhem.
		To establish the new base of operation, men and equipment had to be moved from Belgium all the way to Arnhem, and they had to do it through Nazi-occupied territory.
		Due to limited airlift capacity, the operation had to be performed in three waves into the three invasion zones in Holland, being an area north of Eindhoven, an area south and east of Nijmegen, and an area west of Arnhem.

	General Urquhart's House, No 14 Zwarteweg Arnhem
		One of the major problems encountered at Arnhem was the failure of the radio sets used; they either did not work, or ground conditions and the existance of so many areas full of trees often made radio links unworkable.
		Exasperated by these problems Major General Roy Urquhart, commanding 1st (Airborne) Division, went off to see what the situation in Arnhem was like himself on the afternoon of 17th September 1944 - the first day of the landings.
		Today, although the same family do not own the house as those that did in 1944, a plaque on the wall records it's connection with the now famous General and this unique episode in the Battle for Arnhem.
