bardosy Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 I need some helpful answer to my question about Marget-Garden, specially after the rivercrossing of Waal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 As posted in the CMBO forum. The Germans tried to destroy the Nijmegen bridges by use of frogmen (?), floating mines, and aircraft, with no success, AFAIK. They also tried a fairly hefty attack in late January, IIRC, towards the bridge, which was stopped in Zetten by a battalion of 49th West Riding Infantry Division. Not sure who blew up the Arnhem road bridge, my guess is that it was the Germans. The 'Island', as the Pommies called it, was a scene of mostly low-intensity fighting throughout the winter. Much of it was flooded by breaches in the dams of the Rhine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
