Field Marshal Montgomery's plan to get Second British Army behind the fortifications of the German Siegfried Line in 1944 led to the hugely ambitious Operation Market-Garden. Part of this plan called for a rapid advance from Belgium through Holland up to and across the lower Rhine by the British XXX Corps along a single road already dominated by airborne troops.

Once XXX Corps had reached this bridge it would then make for the German industrial area of the Ruhr.

In the summer of 1944, plans began for a complex operation to seize a Rhine river bridge at Arnhem in the Netherlands.

However, the delays caused to the British armored advance, combined with stronger than expected fighting at Arnhem led to the withdrawal of the remnants of the British 1st Airborne Division in one of the Western Allies' most costly defeats of World War II.

The ground advance consisted of an armoured thrust by the British XXX Corps, while the US 82nd and 101st US Airborne Divisions secured the bridges at Eindhoven and Nijmegen and the British 1st Airborne Division and Polish 1st Airborne Brigade were tasked with seizing the final bridge at Arnhem to secure the route. What they did not realise was that the 9. SS and 10.

Denn der öffentlichen Präsentation (und der Wahl zur neuen Partei-Vorsitzenden) folgt unter anderem im Rahmen einer stattfindenden Landtagswahl ein extrem düsteres, komplexes - und von Heinkel erwartetes - parteiinternes Intrigenspiel gegen ABB, das letztlich zu deren inszeniertem Rückzug als Parteivorsitzende und designierte Kanzlerkandidatin ihrer Partei führen wird.
