In September 1944 the Western Allies mounted an audacious attempt to seize a crossing over the Rhine into Germany in a bid to end the Second World War quickly. Yet despite the deployment of thousands of American, British and Polish airborne troops, in conjunction with the efforts of ground forces, the plan failed spectacularly and the war continued well into 1945. 'Operation Market Garden' is the result of a major international conference and highlights many new areas of interest and forces us to rethink our understanding of this pivotal period of the Second World War.
