(6 - 8) Road to Oosterbeek

Oosterbeek played a crucial role in Operation Market Garden, and was both a staging ground and route of retreat. With British and American forces landing in nearby Wolfheze, the road to Oosterbeek needed to be secured to later provide roadways and railways into Arnhem, where the main offensive was beginning. Defending Wehrmact forces were aware of this importance and moved to engage their airborne foe with haste, and each force was unprepared for the other when they clashed. Bitter fighting between hedgerows and buildings demands combined tactics on a large scale.
