Story:
Operation Market-Garden was a large-scale, combined operation involving airborne forces British 1st Airborne, US 82nd and 101st Airborne, and the 1st Polish Independent Parachute Brigade and a ground force British XXX Corps.
 
The operation, devised by Field Marshal Montgomery, aimed to outflank German defenses by seizing a series of bridges and creating a northern route into Germany, potentially to attack the Ruhr. 
This event will faithfully recreate the experiences of them from the 4th Parachute Brigade, namely the 156 Parachute Battalion, to give us all an experience that will be remembered. In doing so, we will pay our respects to the fallen.
