Episode 73: Operation Market Garden Lessons Learned

The 18th Airborne Corps Podcast - A podcast by XVIII Airborne Corps

Categories:

Episode 73 brings to a close our MASSIVE 11-day, 11-episode retrospective on Operation Market Garden. In this episode, host Joe Buccino is joined by occasional co-host Matt Visser. The two discuss the key takeaways for them from Market Garden and what they learned through the development and production of the series.   This Market Garden series began back on September 17th with episode 63. Through the 11 episodes we've examined the operation from the perspective of the American airborne units, the British airborne and ground forces, and the Polish airborne brigade. We've also discussed the strategic, tactical, and operational components of the operation.   Market Garden was a tragic failure for the Allied forces. Through the lens of history, it is such a rich, dramatic story, one with so much wisdom to offer military leaders today.
