Remembering Operation Market Garden, 80 years later

In September of 1944, a route was planned through the Dutch countrysiderside as a part of Operation Market Garden. The Soldiers from the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions, after fighting bitterly alongside British and Polish paratroopers over every foot of ground against the entrenched German military, named the route ‘Hell’s Highway’. Events to memorialize Operation Market Garden’s 80th Anniversary, the largest airborne operation of World War II and the beginning of Dutch liberation from German occupation, are being held along ‘Hell’s Highway,’ from the Belgian border through the Netherlands and all the way to Germany.
