(Operation Market Garden.) At 1730 #OTD in 1944, the Waal Bridge at Nijmegen finally fell into Allied hands after attacking the bridge from *both* sides. 😉 Within hours, John Frost at the Rhine Bridge at Arnhem would surrender. #WW2#HISTORY
A turret from a King Tiger tank was recovered in good condition #OTD in 1944 and sent to the UK for analysis. Tests showed that the quality and consistency of German armour was slipping, even if the thickness of it kept increasing. #tanks#history#WW2#WWII
In September of 1944, paratroopers Gordon Carson & Frank Perconte of Easy Company rest against a wooden fence on the banks of the Dommel River in Eindhoven during Operation Market Garden. 🪂
@PieceJake on the colorization 🎨
The Tank Museum’s Sherman ‘Michael’ is the oldest Sherman tank still intact in the world
The second production Sherman ever built, it was sent to Britain as a sample in 1942, where it was initially shown off on Horse Guard’s Parade

@Bricky I think you focused way too much on the campaign and it felt more like you had hyped yourself up for it to be this big narrative thing that not many others expected it to be, especially when it’s clear the future focus will be on episodes for operations like they did with WWZ.
