Episode 66: Market Garden - The Cancelled Drops

Episode 66 continues our series on Operation Market Garden: 9-episodes with a new episode released each day for 9 days in concert with the 77th anniversary of the operation (September 17th to 25th).   In episode 66, we speak with WW2 film-maker, historian, and author Paul Woodadge about the cancelled airborne insertions leading into Market Garden. Paul explains how these unrealized plans put pressure on the Allied leadership to move forward with the massive jump into Nijmegen on September 17, 1944. He also explains how Operation Comet, the final cancelled drop, morphed into the Market portion of Market Garden.   There are few people on the planet more prepared to speak on this subject than Paul Woodadge. The historian professor and battlefield tour guide lives the European Theater of World War II. Check out his website and his YouTube channel for more WWII content.
