Hundreds of paratroopers dropped out of near-cloudless skies over a heath in the central Netherlands on Saturday to commemorate the 80th anniversary of one of World War II’s most daring - but ultimately unsuccessful - missions, Operation Market Garden.
Paratroopers from the Dutch Air Mobile Brigade and 12 other NATO nations took part in a series of jumps over Ginkel Heath, watched by a small group of World War II veterans and some 60,000 spectators.
One of the soldiers involved, 99-year-old Geoff Roberts, was among 12 World War II veterans present on a warm fall day.
For Operation Market Garden, he arrived in the nearby village of Wolfheze a day before the mass drops at Ginkel Heath.
“Well, I landed at Wolfheze in a glider and our next job was to capture this area for the people to come in the following day.”
After days of heavy fighting, he was taken prisoner and sent to work in a coal mine in Czechoslovakia.
He was 20 years old when he returned home at the end of the war.
Operation Market Garden was an audacious plan that aimed to seize back key bridges and roads from Nazi occupiers of the Netherlands so that Allied forces in Belgium could advance into the industrial heartland of Germany and bring the war to a swift end.
It involved dropping nearly 35,000 paratroopers behind enemy lines using an aerial armada of gliders and other military planes.
But stiff German resistance and stretched supply lines scuppered the plan as the Allies failed to hold a key bridge across the Rhine at Arnhem in a battle immortalized in the book and star-studded 1977 movie “A Bridge Too Far.”
