Operation Market Garden: The British Army's Costly Disaster | Battles Won & Lost

In September 1944 the Allies launched Operation Market Garden. The brainchild of Bernard Montgomery its objective was to punch a hole in the German line and establish the northern end of a pincer movement across the Rhine, that would finally defeat Germany. The outcome however was very different. In this episode of Battles Won & Lost we see how failed communication and poor tactics led to the defeat of Market Garden. Alongside Market Garden we’ll also be looking at several other great battles of the war and examining the outcomes in detail, with everything from ‘The Dunkirk Evacuation’ in 1940 to ‘The Battle Of Berlin’ in 1945.
