3. The Last Stand at Oosterbeek | Remembering the Fallen | Operation Market Garden | Part 3 of 3

The desperate last stand of British airborne forces inside the Oosterbeek Perimeter after the Arnhem Bridge mission collapsed during Operation Market Garden, September 1944.

In the final part of our Walking the Ground: Operation Market Garden series, James Holland and Al Murray trace the final leg of the story, focusing on the desperate last stand at Oosterbeek by the 1st Airborne troops. Follow the heroic Victoria Cross actions of Jack Baskeyfield and Major Robert Cain, the besieged HQ at Hartenstein, and the eventual retreat across the Rhine. James and Al's moving journey through this defining aspect of WWII history concludes at Oosterbeek Cemetery and with scenes from the Arnhem 80th anniversary weekend in 2024, when the town commemorated with extraordinary tributes to the men who fought and fell trying to bring liberation.
