Le dimanche 17 septembre 1944 marque le commencement de l'opération "Market Garden". Ce plan a pour but de porter un coup décisif à l'armée allemande et de précipiter la chute du IIIe Reich. Le général américain Patton désapprouve le projet, conçu par le général britannique Montgomery, en charge de l'opération, et lui fait part de ses réserves. Nullement ébranlé par ces critiques, Montgomery met son plan à exécution. Il envoie des milliers de parachutistes en Hollande du Nord afin qu'ils s'emparent des six principaux ponts sur le Rhin, allant de la Belgique au pont d'Arnhem. Proies faciles pour la DCA, de nombreux soldats sont abattus...

02:01Hey, O'Mary, I love Grace.
02:03When there's any more cheery information comes my way, I'll just be too happy to pass it along.
