Climax at Nijmegen Bridge


Nijmegen, Holland, September 20th, 1944: Operation Market garden was to be characterized by intense fighting for the 
control of a number of vital bridges. Each was a vital link to the chain leading to Arnhem. The road across the 
Waal River in Nijmegen was the second of three bridges which had to be secured in oreder to relieve the British 1st Airborne
and throw a force across the Rhine. A task force composed of a mixture of US Paratroopers and the British armored relief
column was assigned to take it. The paratroopers had successfully crossed the Waal in company strength one mile west in a
daring daylight river assault. The orders for the task force in Nijmegen were to cross the road bridge at any cost and link
up with the paratroopers who were fighting their way toward the north end of the bridge.
