EDE, Netherlands - Operation Market Garden, the ultimately failed attempt to liberate the north of the Netherlands from Nazi Germany in September 1944, was commemorated by veterans and royalty in the Netherlands on Saturday.
Under a clear blue sky, Britain’s Prince Charles and Dutch Princess Beatrix watched over a thousand parachutists re-enact the landing of British, American and Polish paratroopers on Ginkel Heath on Sept. 17, 1944. Market Garden was meant to clear the path for allied troops into Germany, by liberating the north and east of the neighboring Netherlands, isolating German troops in the west of the country.
Around 15,000 allied soldiers and thousands of German soldiers lost their lives in Operation Market Garden, which culminated in the loss of the Battle of Arnhem - prolonging World War Two in Europe until the final liberation came in May 1945.
