'IMO the Allies did not have but ⅓ of the air transport necessary for Market Garden to be a success.' Even despite all the problems the plan had, in the end they were still close to pulling it off. If on the first day they had allocated enough transport to drop most or all of 1st Airborne in drop zones much closer to Arnhem, that probably would've been enough to hold an extra day or two enough for XXX Corp to relieve them. I mean if Frost's 2nd battalion on its own could hold out for so long, imagine if most of 1st and 3rd battalions had made it to the bridge with most of their supplies as well. Probably would've been enough to hang on strongly for at least a day or two or more especially if the allies could keep the Brits resupplied. Even better if they could've done two drops on the first day before the Germans could react in force that would've been even better and lessened the problem of not enough transports to go around for everyone.

Lets be real. There's a HUGE ethnic/racial component to crime and violence when the majority of this violence and crime are committed by certain demographics of people. The problem is that no one has the balls to talk about it and to hold these problem demographics accountable for their actions because that would be considered 'racist' and 'xenophobic', even though you're criticising their BEHAVIORS rather than the people themselves.

@johnlucas8479 1) That should've been the plan to begin with. Give the force being the furthest away the most help so that if things inevitably don't go according to plan, the furthest most isolated force can hold out longer more effectively. 1st Airborne being the most isolated should've have most of their forces dropped on day one as close to their objectives as possible. Its the most logical thing to do to give them the best chance of holding out being so far away from ground help. 2) The Polish brigade was suppose to link up with the Brits at Arnhem weren't they? Between the 2nd and 3rd battalions plus the Poles, if they had all mostly made it to Arnhem on the first day with their supplies, they probably would've been able to hold until XXX Corp arrived even with all the delays. 3) Why not do a second lift at night if the weather was good enough? Get as much of your forces into battle on the first day where you have the most surprise. Even if the troops dropping at night would've been more disorganized like it was on D-Day, the amount of chaos they could cause would mean a less organized and powerful German force would've been able to attack the British forces at Arnhem bridge or US forces down south when they have to send out units to deal with guerilla paratroops all around them.
