Operation Market Garden Anniversary is still remembered with parachuting and dedications on this day. (Netherlands)

Operation Market Garden was an Allied military operation during the Second World War fought in the German-occupied Netherlands from 17 to 25 September 1944. Its objective was to create a salient spanning 64 miles (103 km) into German territory with a bridgehead over the Nederrijn, creating an Allied invasion route into northern Germany. This was to be achieved by two sub-operations: seizing nine bridges with combined American and British airborne forces ("Market") followed by British land forces swiftly following over the bridges ("Garden").
