Overview:
Colonel Frost’s Parachute Battalion had solidified its perimeter near the Arnhem Road Bridge. The 700 men that had managed to reach the bridge were concentrated in a tight knot near the ramp. Some units had moved east in an effort to scout the German strength. These units were returning with alarming reports of heavy German troop concentrations as well as the presence of large numbers of tanks and self-propelled guns. The intelligence reports of only a minor German presence in and around the city of Arnhem seemed, to Col. Frost, to be “painfully reminiscent of a child’s fairytale.”Attacker: German (SS) (SS Panzer Division 9)
Defender: British (2nd Parachute Battalion, 1st British Airborne Division)
