COMMEMORATING OPERATION MARKET GARDEN: 75 years ago this week the Allies tried to invade Germany using an “airborne carpet” to capture and hold key bridges in Holland. Allied armor units would then cross the bridges and smash into northern Germany. But the Allies went a bridge too far. In the photo, Dutch military re-enactors wearing U.S. 82nd Airborne Division uniforms parachute from a Douglas C-47 Skytrain. The parachute drop was part of commemoration ceremonies held in Groesbeek, Holland. The photo was taken September 18, 2019.
