Arnhem
September 17, 1944r.

Ever since landing in Normandy, Montgomery's allied forces "fought" with Bradley and Patton for the possibility of a powerful blow that would knock the Germans on their knees. Dwight Eisenhower was the consensus in this clash. When Montgomery presented the "Market-Garden" operation plan, the commander of Allied troops hesitated to take the chance. The Allies had to use the airborne troops to cross the rivers Meuse, Waal and Lower Rhine. After this "carpet" was going to pass the British armored troops, which after "crossing" the Siegfried Line would have won the Ruhr area, and then Berlin itself. Behind the northern direction of the attack was the weakness of the German troops in the Netherlands - at least he reported. Meanwhile, Gen. Student created a line of defense based on his subordinate divisions, soon to strengthen the armored brigade and the entire 2nd Armored Corps of General Bittrich.

Operational tasks:
-The purpose is to stop the British Panzer Division from escaping from the south, and in the belt between Eindhoven-Arnhem-liquidation of Allied paratroopers.
