Operation Market Garden was Field Marshal Montogomery's brainchild. The plan was to launch airborne troops to seize bridges across waterways in southern Holland, including the Lower Rhine at Arnhem, to link up with British armor for a push to threaten the German industrial heartland of the Ruhr. The airborne forces were dropped eight miles west of Arnhem, where the II. SS-Panzer-Korps was recuperationg at that time. The German armor and infantry units of the II. SS-Panzer-Korps fought well, and the whole operation culminated in an allied defeat in the Arnhem sector.
