442306246 Embleem Pegasus Airborne
The 1st British Airborne Division dropped onto Arnhem on 17 September.
They encountered far greater resistance than had been expected and only a small force were able to reach Arnhem road bridge.
XXX Corps ground advance became delayed and without reinforcement this small force under Lt Colonel John Frost was overwhelmed.
The rest of the division became trapped in a small perimeter in Oosterbeek and were withdrawn on the night of 25–26 September in Operation Berlin.
