Nijmegen, September 21st 1944: The bridges over the Waal had been taken in a daring Anglo-American operation. Gen Horrocks, the XXX Corps commander, now had all the bridges, except the Arnhem bridge, but he was unable to exploit the success. He knew he required an infantry division to take over for the final push across the Island, but the 43rd Wessex was stuck on Hell's Highway. He was left with only one choice if he wished to maintain the momentum of the attack.... the depleted Guards Armored Division. Meanwhile, on the Island the Germans were bringing forward every available soldier, anti-tank weapon, and tank, to block the road north to Arnhem. [Size small]
