Description
Operation Market Garden: A Bridge Too Far by Ben Skipper In September 1944, Allied forces launched a daring operation to capture key bridges in the Netherlands. The plan, code-named Market Garden, involved a bold combination of airborne and ground assaults, but poor planning and intelligence ultimately led to disaster. This book examines the events surrounding Market Garden, including the development and operational use of four key military vehicles: the Triumph HW3 motorcycle, German Sd.Kfz.2 Kettenkrad, British Cromwell tank, and Quartermaster section vehicles. With a selection of historical and contemporary photos and illustrations, this title provides a detailed look at the machines that played a crucial role in the battle. The book also explores the four pieces of military hardware featured, providing modelers with insight into their development and use during Market Garden.
