Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. Arnhem
Arnhem lies on the lower Rhine, with the green slopes of the Veluwe rising immediately to the north, and it is a city that most people know from a single week in September 1944. Operation Market Garden was meant to seize a string of bridges and speed the end of the war; the British First Airborne Division was dropped at Arnhem to hold the last of them, and for nine days a small force fought a hopeless battle against German armour. The film A Bridge Too Far made the story famous. The bridge there was later renamed after Colonel John Frost, who led the troops that held its northern end.
