What is so boring about these threads is that, especially with Market Garden, it always (without fail) degenerates into a "Blame Game" between the US and ritish/Commonwealth forces. Someone always has an axe to grind so the same aul myths arise about British or American performance in the operation. But two things cannot be disputed: The bravery of the Paras in Arnhem and the resilience of the German units. The Paras did far more than was originally asked of them and they endured terrible losses because of it. The Allies did NOT drop on top of 2 complete Armor Divisions, the Germans had to draw on scratch built kampgruppe and use second line units as well as the SS to repel the attackers.
You know, its not just about if the British or the US were to blame although the way Market Garden threads go you would think that it was the only aspect of the campaign to discuss
