The Battle of Arnhem, fought in the early autumn of 1944, remains without a doubt the most hotly debated battle of the North West European Campaign, both then and now. Montgomery's brainchild, Operation Market Garden was designed to end the war by Christmas 1944, and clear away Hitler's V weapons from the North Sea Coast. Following the collapse of the German Army in Normandy and its flight back across northern France, it seemed that a bold move to seize the three major and numerous other waterways across Holland would place the Second British Army beyond the Rhine. This would deliver Germany's powerhouse the Ruhr, put the allies on the North German Plain and the road to Berlin. The allies had, however, outran their supplies, and the Germans were staging an amazing strategic recovery.
The BHTV team, made up of leading historians and battlefield guides, probe the controversial background to Operation Market Garden, and describe the operation itself through five comprehensive DVDs.
