Description

There are many unique and personal stories surrounding Operation Market Garden. The Battle of Arnhem and the Waal crossing at Nijmegen are more commonly known because of the film A Bridge Too Far. In more recent years, the US 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment and more specifically Easy Company of that regiment have become well-known because of the HBO TV-series Band of Brothers based on the book written by the historian Stephen Ambrose.
