  1. jesusss you uploaded this nonsense again ? Failures: planners (under Monty and Browning who took 10 essential planes on the first day with nonessential staff that cld hve been filled with US 82nd troops that COULD have taken and HELD the Nijmegen bridge); they FAILED to understand that the germans had a HUGE insertion point via Pannerden (and Looveer) ferry to put SS troops AND ATguns AND tanks to the "island" and up the Arnhem bridge and DOWN the Nijmegen bridge and south ramp. No 82nd rifle group could EVER hope to stop the steadily growing influx of german troops there and then on sunday and following monday. The majority of 1st Airborne SHOULD HAVE LANDED on the Island from day one. At least the para dropped infantry.... the poles managed 4 days later... And lest not forget Brereton who DENIED the troopers more than 100 more transport planes that CERTAINLY wld have made the difference, even WITH the extra SS troops and tanks at hand. If the building sucks at the foundation (Browning, Brereton) then any construction fails.. ...and of course 30th crps was BLOODY SLOW !! "no sense of urgency"....it is proven by the fact that the few tanks that went across the nijmegen bridge did NOTHIng afterwards...because INFANTRY were still busy fighting at the "west" side of the south ramp, and HUNDREDS of shermans were lying IDLE miles SOUTH of Nijmegen doing FUCK ALL!! Nobody ever wondered how 5 shermans could get across the bridge (east side of south ramp) , then BLOODY SEND MORE OF THE SAME after them ?????
