This episode tells the tragic story of the 'bridge too far' and the ill-fated 'Operation Market Garden' - the Allied Operation that was supposed to end World War Two in 1944. Montgomery's rather fanciful conclusion that Market Garden was '90% successful' was hardly supported by the facts. The operation was an unmitigated failure.

This episode, brand new to DVD is from the land mark television series 'Battlefield'. Featuring fascinating archive footage from all over the world the programme includes a review of the political and military situation before the battle, portraits of leaders an commanders, an explanation of weapons and tactics and the story of the battle itself. Vivid graphics place the battle into the context of the war as a whole.
