Airborne At The Bridge - John Frost Bridge, Arnhem, Holland
I hope you enjoy this video of John Frost Bridge in Arnhem, Holland.
I’ve always been keen to visit the bridge at Arnhem. The 1979 Richard Attenborough film A Bridge Too Far left an impression watching as a kid with my Father. The all star cast coupled with the epic battle scenes make it one of the great 70s war films in my view.
John Frost Bridge as it's now known who was the commander on the ground for Operation Market Garden.
This short video is a tribute to those on both sides and civilians who lost their lives during this part of WW2...
It also contrasts the peacefulness of Arnhem today with a snapshot of urban life in this beautiful Dutch city.

Battle of Arnhem - Both sides of the lines - Market Garden 1944
Operation Market Garden (17–25 September 1944) was an unsuccessful Allied military operation, fought in the Netherlands and Germany in the Second World War. The operation was split into two sub-operations:
Market – the airborne forces, the First Allied Airborne Army, who would seize bridges
Garden – the ground forces, consisting of the British XXX Corps
Market Garden contained the largest airborne operation up to that point.[e]
Field Marshal Montgomery's strategic goal was to encircle the heart of German industry, the Ruhr, in a pincer movement. The northern end of the pincer would circumvent the northern end of the Siegfried Line giving easier access into Germany. The aim of Operation Market Garden was to establish the northern end of a pincer ready to project deeper into Germany. Allied forces would project north from Belgium, 60 miles (97 km) through the Netherlands, across the Rhine and consolidate north of Arnhem on the Dutch/German border ready to close the pincer.
The operation made massed use of airborne forces, whose tactical objectives were to secure the bridges and allow a rapid advance by armored ground units to consolidate north of Arnhem. The operation required the seizure of the bridges across the Maas (Meuse River), two arms of the Rhine (the Waal and the Lower Rhine) together with crossings over several smaller canals and tributaries.
Several bridges between Eindhoven and Nijmegen were captured at the beginning of the operation. Lieutenant-General Brian Horrocks' XXX Corps ground force advance was delayed by the initial failure of the airborne units to secure bridges at Son and Nijmegen. German forces demolished the bridge over the Wilhelmina Canal at Son before being secured by the 101st Airborne Division. The 82nd Airborne Division's failure to capture the main road bridge over the river Waal at Nijmegen before 20 September also delayed the advance of XXX Corps.
At the furthest point of the airborne operation at Arnhem, the British 1st Airborne Division encountered initial strong resistance. The delays in capturing the bridges at Son and Nijmegen gave time for German forces, including armored divisions, to be moved into Arnhem from Germany. In the ensuing battle, only a small force managed to capture the north end of the Arnhem road bridge and after the ground forces failed to relieve them, the paratroopers were overrun on 21 September. The remainder of the 1st Airborne Division were trapped in a small pocket west of the bridge, having to be evacuated on 25 September.
The Allies had failed to cross the Rhine and the river remained a barrier to their advance into Germany until offensives at Remagen, Oppenheim, Rees and Wesel in March 1945. The failure of Market Garden to form a foothold over the Rhine ended Allied expectations of finishing the war by Christmas 1944.
Operation Market Garden, The John Frost Bridge, Arnhem, Netherlands.
A tour of the area held by the British 1st Airborne Division during Operation Market Garden in September 1944.
The area is quite small so I start close to the modern memorial park before moving up onto the bridge itself. I was really surprised at how small the bridge was and the width of the crossing. My admiration for the what the 82nd Airborne achieved with their crossing of the Waal at Nijmegan increased tremedously while in Arnhem. The fact they crossed the river is amazing but that they thought they could...beggers belief really.
None of the original buildings (or bridge for that matter) survive as they were all destroyed during Market Garden or soon after.

The true story of Operation Market Garden, the Allies attempt, in September 1944, to hasten the end of WW2 by driving through Belgium and Holland into Germany. The idea was for US airborne divisions to take the towns of Eindhoven and Nijmegen and a British airborne division, reinforced by a Polish airborne brigade, to take the town of Arnhem. They would be reinforced, in due course and in turn, by the British XXX Corps, land-based and driving up from the British lines in the south. The key to the operation was the bridges, as if the Germans held or blew them, the paratroopers could not be relieved. Faulty intelligence, Allied high command hubris and stubborn German resistance would ensure that Arnhem was a bridge too far.

A Bridge Too Far
This all-star WWII epic depicts the Allied defeat at Arnhem, Holland, in September 1944 and concentrates on those assigned to capture the strategically important bridge, despite insurmountable odds... It was planned to airdrop 35,000 U.S. and British paratroopers into Eastern Holland to secure six bridges leading to the German border, while a British ground force sped through Belgium to the bridge at Arnhem on the Rhine River. Converging, the two armies were to smash the already-damaged war-production factories of the Third Reich in the Ruhr section of Germany. But...everything went wrong: weather, bad judgment, panic, pure bad luck. The operation, which lasted nine days and had been code-named 'Market Garden,' was a total disaster... Based on the book by Cornelius Ryan.
