In September 1944, a mighty force of battle hardened Allied
troops dropped from the skies into enemy-occupied Holland in what
was hoped would be the decisive final battle of World War II.
Landing miles behind the German lines, their daring mission was to
secure bridges across the Rhine so that ground forces could make a
rapid dash into Germany. What many trusted would be a simple
operation turned into a brutal losing battle. Of 12,000 British
airborne soldiers, 1,500 died and 6,000 were taken prisoner and
the vital bridge at Arnhem they had come to capture stayed
resolutely in German hands.
The 4th SS Panzer Corps vs the 1st Belorussian Front. Everyone
believes that the Red Army halted outside Warsaw on Stalin's orders,
to allow the German forces to strangle the Polish uprising in the
capital. The truth is very different. On the evening prior to the
start of the uprising the Germans launched a violent counter-attack
on the Red Army near Praga, the eastern district of Warsaw. This
unleashed bitter fighting, which continued through to September,
when the Red Army finally captured Praga. This detailed study
includes many rare photos plus colour profiles and battle plans.
