Joe's Bridge

And because normally on the ground, they're out running the airborne ambitions.

So the start line for Garden is at Joe's Bridge, named after Joe Vandler, which is on the Meuse-Escot Canal.

The bridge on the Meuse-Escot Canal in 1940 had been one left over from 1918 that the Americans had put in in the First World War.

Interestingly.

In part one, we followed the planning, the Allied breakout from Normandy, the supply crisis, the arguments between Eisenhower and Montgomery, and the three airborne plans that came out of them.

In part two, we turn to Garden, the ground half of the operation, and to Lieutenant General Horrocks' 30 Corps, tasked with driving up a single road from Joe's Bridge to Arnhem.

In part three, the 1st Airborne Division came down west of Arnhem.

We followed the bombing, the first lift, and the landings on the heaths and farmland around Wolfheese.
