Last year was the 70th Anniversary of Operation Market Garden, the heroic yet disastrous attempt to end WWII in one stroke by striking deep into German held territory in Holland. I posted a couple articles commemorating that event in September 2014, and share them with you again on the anniversary of the ill-fated operation.
