Episode 72 of the 18th Airborne Corps Podcast continues our series on Operation Market Garden: 11 episodes in 11 days.

This episode, the 10th and penultimate installment in the OMG series, features Dr. John Greenacre. John is a well-published military historian and author. He's also a Brit, which gives him a bit of a different perspective on some of the elements of this story we've been discussing, in particular the leadership of Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery.

John spent over twenty years in the British Army before completing his PhD at Leeds University. He is a part-time lecturer at the University of Suffolk and the author of the 2020 book "Churchill's Spearhead: The Development of Britain's Airborne Forces in World War II."

Our Market Garden miniseries began in Episode 63 and ends on Monday, September 27th with the release of Episode 73. If you haven't been following along, we recommend you go back through on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
