September 17, 1944, the Allies launched Operation Market Garden, a massive offensive intended to end WWII by Christmas. The nine-day operation ended on September 25th in failure.

77 years later, the 18th Airborne Corps podcast, the official podcast of the US Department of Defense, releases a nine-episode series based on Market Garden.

Nine days. Nine episodes. September 17 - 25. Almost as bold and ambitious as the operation itself...let's just hope this podcast is a little more successful.

Market Garden is a big story. Episodes 63 to 71 will unwind that story.

Over these nine episodes, you'll hear multiple elements on this grand tragedy: the American airborne, the British airborne, the British ground forces, the Dutch resistance, the German defenses, the Polish paratroopers. We'll have many guests, many historians, and many perspectives.

In this first in our Market Garden series, host Joe Buccino describes the strategic overview of the operation and the broad outlines of the plan. This episode sets the scene for the next eight.

Please subscribe to the podcast on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, or Spotify. Please live a 5-star rating and a review and please tell others about the program.
