Road to the Rhine Card

Robert sets the scene on Sunday 17 September 1944, the first day of Operation Market Garden, as C-47 Dakotas of the 439th Troop Carrier Group drop thousands of paratroopers from the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions into Holland, a hundred and fifty miles behind enemy lines. This daring operation, the largest airborne assault of World War II, aimed to capture and secure vital bridges in the Allies’ push towards the Rhine.

This EIGHT signature piece also includes a 101st Screaming Eagle patch, US Airborne jump wings and, if this wasn't already special enough, our expert framing team have included an original fragment of wartime parachute used by U.S. Airborne Divisions on their jumps into Europe!
