Operation Varsity The Airborne Crossing of The Rhine March 1945 On the 24th March 1945, in perfect weather, nearly 4000 aircraft from the 6th Airborne Division and the 17th US Airborne Division deposited fighting men behind enemy lines, East of the River Rhine. Their mission was to capture key points and so assist the advance of the ground troops. Having learned the lessons from the Arnhem battle, the gliders and paratroops landed close to their targets and achieved total success. This fascinating CD, using previously unpublished documents held at the Museum of Army Flying, shows the planning, the execution and the logistics of the battle. War diaries and reports give a full insight into the British perspective; both aerial and ground photographs complete this insight into one of the major actions of World War II.
