Everything Everywhere Daily - Operation Market Garden (Encore)

After the Allied landing in Normandy in World War II, the Allies made progress pushing back the Germans.

However, by September, things had slowed down. One allied commander devised a plan that he thought would end the war in one fell swoop.

The plan was bold, audacious, and highly risky, and in the end, it was ultimately a failure.

Learn more about Operation Market Garden and the attempt to quickly bring an end to the war on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Notes

  • There's a ton written about Emma Rowena Gatewood but so much of it, including this story, owes a huge debt to Ben Montgomery's book, Grandma Gatewood's Walk, which excavated the story of her life with her husband. Besides that, it is wonderfully written. Totally recommend it.
