World War Two history writers James Holland and Al Murray are on Drop Zone X, 8 miles west of Arnhem where the British 1st Airborne division landed on the first day of Operation Market Garden, Sept. 17th 1944. They discuss the formidable challenge faced by divisional commander Major General Urqhuart to both defend the drop zones for later airlifts and make a rapid assault on Arnhem and capture the bridge over the Rhine before German's forces could react. ✅ SUBSCRIBE / @ww2walkingtheground "
