"Aleph diameter would be two or three inches, but the outer space was there, undiminished in size. Each thing (the moon in the mirror, say) was infinite things, because I clearly visible from all points of the universe.

ANNIVERSARY OF







September 17, 1944
Operation Market-Garden was the second, larger of the Second World War, after the Normandy landings. Was the brainchild of Marshal Montgomery on the occasion of securing various access bridges vital to the invasion of Germany. It is composed of two essential operations: the "Market" (airborne) and "Garden" (Earth). The plan
initial, 101 ° Airborne, commanded by General Maxwell Taylor, was scheduled to go north of Eindhoven and capture the bridges over the Aa River and the Grand Canal at Veghel Willems, on the Dommel River at St. Oedenrode and on the Grand Canal in Guillermina They are for capturing termindar Eindhoven for the night. Brigadier General Gavin to 82 ° Airborne Division would take the Groesbeek heights and forest area east of Nijmegen, along with the bridges over the Maas at Grave and the Canal, so the General Gavin formed a joint force infantry and artillery, foreseeing that it would be several days alone.
stations and in Eindhoven, part of the 101st marched north to Best to take, but were repulsed by the Germans, who in turn sought to build on Eindhoven until the Irish and British tanks were stopped in the afternoon. The Division spent much of the day defending the prefabricated bridge had tended the American engineers.
The 1st British Airborne Division under Major General Urquart was landing west of Arnhem and its main objective was the road bridge over the Lower Rhine in the heart of the city, next to the railway bridge; these troops with the 1st Polish Parachute Brigade were to secure the high ground north of Arnhem.
The September 16 1944 was launched air strikes by the RAF and the USAF on German airfields. Meanwhile, the airports of England lifted off the transport of troops, composed of 424 and 70 C47 Skytrain 6769 gliders carrying paratroopers of the 101 º. 482 In other gliders C47 Skytrain and 50 more were transported paratroopers 6527 82. 1051 38 gliders with 516 paratroopers British and other transportation planners more vehicles and artillery made up the fleet. In turn, all of whom were escorted by 371 Spitfieres and "Mosquito." Early planners
the 1 st British Airborne Brigade made landfall at 13:00 hours west of Arnhem, followed by artillery and Urquart troops, of the 319 planners, 35 but never arrived. Major General Taylor jumped along with 6,769 men of the 101st north of Eindhoven. The paratroopers of the 502 ° and 506 ° landed the headquarters staff of 101 th north Sonsche forest.
The 6,527 men of the 82nd Airborne were released in the area south of Nijmegen, with the loss of two C47. In this shot from the 48 men arrived Skytrain 376 ° Artillery Battalion with its 75mm mortars, at 14:08, about 20,000 men, 511 vehicles, 330 artillery pieces and 590 tons of equipment had landed in the area combat.
The 101st Airborne reached their targets north of Eindhoven to 16:00, with 501 · Fasten the rail and road bridges in Heeswijk and 502 · Capture the bridge in St Oedenrode. Son, troops of the Luftwaffe Division "Hermann Goering" blew up the bridge over the Wilhelmina Canal, arriving in 506 ° members paratrooper.
Even as the Garden ground operation, further north, the 82nd Airborne captured the bridges, with the 505 ° and 508 · Established on each side of the town of Groesbeek and 504 ° Parachutist securing the bridge at Grave. However, two of the three bridges over the Maas-Waal Canal were blown up by German troops before being secured by the Americans, that closed the road Grave-Nijmegen, leaving only the bridge near Heumen in American hands. A company of 1 / 508 ° Nijmegen entered to inspect the bridge over the Waal, being rejected by the Kampfgruppe Henke, consisting of soldiers, paratroopers and guards defending the city.
At the Battle of Arnhem, Field Marshal Model, three hours after landing, and had a plan of defense, General Studen sent Kampfgruppe "Chill" against the XII and XXX Corps, the 59 th Infantry Division and the 107 Panzer Brigade against the 101st Airborne. Son
East, the 107th Panzer Brigade (a battalion of PzKpfw V Panther and panzer grenadier regiment) arrived to start the implementation of the Student clamp operation with the 59 th Infantry Division in Best. However, the plan was derailed by the attack of the 101st Airborne and the 8th Armored Brigade from the 59th Division, taking over 1,400 prisoners.
At 10:00 left England a second wave of transports and gliders to Holland, protected by 867 fighters of the 8th Air Force, which lost 91 of the 904 gliders by bad weather. At 13:00 two battalions of the 327 ° Infantry Regiment and some divisional troops, 2,656 men, 146 jeeps and 109 trailers arrived at the 101 st. Nearby, to the heights of Groesbeek, areas of the 82 nd aterizaje are made by Airborne Corps "Feldt, being dislodged by an attack of the 505 ° Paratrooper with the capture of General Feldt. 135 aircraft B-25 of the 8 th Air Force to resupply the 82 nd Airborne and 117 aircraft, the 101 st Airborne. West of Arnhem
the second wave arrived at 15:00 British, being greeted by a strong air defense, the 4 th Brigade Paratrooper Hackett, at 124 C47, fell and 3 ° SS annihilated the Dutch Police Battalion.
Due to the strong counter-offensive of the German army of Marshal Model, adverse weather conditions, failure of supply failure breaks the Polish paratroopers and the delay in connection with the land forces, the battle began to tilt in favor of the Germans.
At the end of the day, the three battalions of General Hackett had only 250 men, and a release of 390 tons of supplies, Salo 31 reached their hands.

allies successfully managed to take the first bridge, but the overall result of the operation was a complete failure, unable to take the final bridge at Arnhem. The German counteroffensive destroyed almost the 1 st British Airborne Division, while causing more casualties on the Allies of those who had throughout the invasion of Normandy.
The number of casualties was devastating: about 8000 German troops killed and 5000 wounded British troops, 6484 dead and 6450 prisoners, American troops dead, 3947, Polish troops, 102 killed and 309 wounded. Although General Montgomery
believed otherwise, the Allied defeat was considered the last major tactical victories of the Third Reich in the western campaign and extended the war in Europe almost a year. As I would say Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands: "My country can never afford to suffer another Montgomery success" ..

THE LEAP OF THE DAY "D"



The Jump D-Day, June 6, 1944 began with the largest military offensive in history: Operation Overlord (the invasion of Europe). The 101 th was part of the spearhead, with Operation Albany. Because of the danger of their missions, the estimated losses were 80%.


The 101 th mission was control of four routes to the beach, "Utah" before the landing of the 4 th Infantry Division. These access routes were often the only route to the interior due to flooding. Eliminating secondary defenses German men of the 101st went to the seizure of the bridges located behind the landing beaches in the south, to destroy the bridge on the road to Carentan. At the same time, established two bridgeheads on the river, northeast of Carentan.

The mission was preceded by the Pathfinders (Scouts), its goal was to assign the drop zone and landing of gliders. The 101 th had 9 teams, 3 for each drop zone. Thus, if two teams were knocked out, would be a third party to carry out the mission.

The first man in 101 second landfall was Captain Frank L. Lillyman, its target for the 506PIR was the drop zone (DZ) "C". This would fall more accurate of the three teams. Many never reached their area, scattered around. The plan failed and confusion reigned over the drop zone. For many of them their first mission was to return to their units.

During the day, the 101st had to move south, but faced fierce resistance from the Germans at Saint Côme du Mont, there was little progress. The next day, the 506 th regiment along the 501 º and 1 battalion of 401 ° moved towards Vierville, taking the city after heavy fighting.


The next step, Carentan. The city, situated on a main road junction, it was necessary to join ground forces "Utah" and "Omaha."

The attack on Carentan was going to be two sides. The first, on the right, crossing the road northwest of Carentan and bypassing the city to continue to the southwest, the second from the left around the city.

The 3 rd Battalion, 502 th led the assault on the right flank, the pioneer corps did the same for the bridge over the river La Madeleine, but its advanced was hampered by the stubborn defense of the Germans. There, at the gates Carentan, saw the first bayonet charge of the airborne troops in the German defenders were swept away.

June 12, the 506th arrived to reinforce the 501st taking the hill and command of Carentan. At dawn, the 2nd Battalion (506th PIR) came from the southwest of the city joining the 1st Battalion of the 401st, which came from the northeast.

On June 13 the Germans launched a violent attack in an attempt to retake the city. Later the 506 th was sent to Cherbourg to relieve the 4th Infantry Division. Since then the division remained in France as a backup unit until mid-July, when he to England to "get healthy."


During the Battle of Normandy, the Division took heavy losses in lives and equipment: 2043 men died in battle, 7980 were wounded and 350 captured.
