This operation was one of the main objectives of Operation Market Garden that took place 77 years ago on September 20, 1944. The offensive began September 17, 1944 and called for three Allied airborne divisions to drop by parachute and glider into the Netherlands, seizing key territory and bridges so that ground forces could cross the Rhine.
