Arnhem

The First British Airborne Division had to capture the farthest bridge over the Rhine at Arnhem. They would then wait for the arrival of the British Guards Armoured Division who would force their way through enemy lines to relieve the airborne forces. British Paratroopers captured the northern end of the Arnhem bridge, but the enemy held on to the town, and bad weather prevented the flying in of reinforcements and supplies. The Armoured Division was unable to break through to Arnhem and after eight days battle against overwhelming odds, the British pulled back across the Rhine; of the original 10,000, 2400 returned.
