EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the intensity and determination of the British Major and Lieutenant of the First Airborne Division during the pivotal moments of Operation Market Garden in September 1944. The image, taken in the woods near Arnhem, Holland, shows the Lieutenant giving orders to his machine-gun crew as they prepared for action. Operation Market Garden, a bold plan devised by Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery, aimed to drop thousands of Allied troops behind enemy lines to secure an invasion route into Germany. The British First Airborne Division, along with the American 81st and 101st Airborne Divisions, took part in this daring operation on the 17th of September 1944. Despite the initial successes, the operation ultimately proved unsuccessful. The German forces were able to counter the Allied advance, and the British First Airborne Division, in particular, suffered heavy losses. The image of the Major and Lieutenant in the woods near Arnhem serves as a poignant reminder of the courage and sacrifice of the Allied troops during this pivotal moment in World War II history. The original caption for this photograph incorrectly stated that the Lieutenant was giving orders to a machine-gun crew. However, the image's historical significance lies in its portrayal of the leadership and determination of the Allied forces during Operation Market Garden, a pivotal moment in the Second World War.
