Operation Market Garden Hiking Route
Operation Market Garden was one of the largest Allied operations of the Second World War. It took place in September 1944 in northern Belgium and the Dutch provinces of North-Brabant and Gelderland. The goal of the operation was to outflank the German defenses along the Rhine (the Westwall) and to ensure a swift advance towards the heart of Nazi-Germany. It was hoped that the operation could help to end the war before Christmas.
