Overview:
By early afternoon of 19th, the German forces defending the two Nijmegen bridges were formidable- over 2,000 men, four 88mm guns, and numerous light anti-aircraft and anti-tank guns. Lieutenant-General Sir Frederick “Boy” Browning, commander of the 1st Airborne Corps told the 82nd’s General Gavin, “The Nijmegen Bridge must be taken today. At the latest, tomorrow.” Gavin immediately ordered the 2nd Battalion, 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment to move into Nijmegen and capture the highway and the railroad bridges over the lower Waal. The Western Force responsible for the capture of the railroad bridge was comprised of Company D, 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment; a troop of tanks from 2nd Battalion, Grenadier Guards, and a platoon of infantry from the 1st Battalion, Grenadier Guards.Attacker: British/American (Company D, 2nd Battalion 505th Infantry Regiment supported by No. 3 Squadron, 2nd Battalion, Grenadier Guards & No. 2 Company, 1st Battalion , Grenadiers Guards)
Defender: German (SS) (SS-Kampfgruppe Runge)
