Paras Land at Arnhem
A large contingent of men of the Allied 1st Airborne Army, under the command of Lieut-General Frederick Browning, have been dropped in the area of Nijmegen, Eindhoven and Arnhem, in the Netherlands. The aim is to seize strategically important bridges over the many waterways in the areawhich may impede the Allied advance. These include the Grave bridge over the Maas, the Maas-Wahl Canal bridge and the Arnhem Bridge over the Lower Rhine (the Lek). After enemy airfields were cratered by bombing raids, over 1,000 troop-carrying aircraft took part. There were four engined Short Stirlings and twin engined Douglas Dakotas, some towing gliders, others loaded with paratroopers. This is just the first stage of an operation which will be reinforced over the next few days, and which will ensure a speedy and secure advance for the Allied armoured columns. The Oxford Diecast Headlines Paras Land at Arnhem made of Diecast Metal/Mazak is Number SC004 in the range.
