About this Model: This Anglo-American airborne operation was launched 17 September 1944 with the object of securing the crossings over the great Dutch rivers, Maas, Waal, Lower Rhine, and so opening a way for an armoured advance into the north German plain before the onset of winter. Montgomery, commanding the British 21st Army Group, persuaded Eisenhower in early September that, such was the disorganization of the Germans in the west following their precipitated retreat from Normandy, he could ‘bounce' their defense of the Low Countries and avoid the preparation of a long conventional offensive. |
