Chapter 4: Groesbeek Heights

During the planning of Market-Garden the Allied Command had noted the importance of the Groesbeek heights that dominated the approaches to Nijmegen. At their tops one could see the roads used by the XXX Corps as well as the German counter-attack roads. General Browning (1st Airborne Army) and Gavin agreed that without height control, taking the Nijmegen bridges would be an impossible task.

Chapter 3 : Molenhoek

The small area between the heights of Groesbeek and the Maas River was a sensitive area in the 82nd Airborne sector. There were three reinforcement roads coming from the German border.

For the Feldmarschal Model, a victorious counter-attack in this area could seal the fate of the 82nd and 1st Airborne. The mission of the 505th PIR was to take and hold this sector in the face of the inevitable German counter-attacks.

Chapter 2: Maas/Waal Canal Bridges

 

While the 2/504th is in charge of taking the Grave bridge, the rest of the 504th PIR is parachuted onto the DZ O after the pathfinders. The objective of the 3/504th is to secure the Grave/Nijmegen road to be used by the XXX Corps. This is achieved without great difficulty.  The 1/504th as for him must take care of capturing intact the bridges on the Maas/Waal channel codified 7, 8, 9 and 10.

September 1944, the allied “blitzkrieg” following the breakthrough of Cobra began to run out of steam. Despite the unexpected capture of the port of Antwerp intact (the banks of the Scheldt are still in German hands) most of the Allied supplies came from Cherbourg. There is not enough supply to supply both Patton and Montgomery’s troops. The latter then proposed to Eisenhower a bold plan that he believed would allow the war to end at Christmas: Operation Market-Garden.

Three airborne divisions (101st US, 82nd US and 1st UK) are to jump over the Eindhoven, Nijmegen and Arnhem regions to capture key bridges. Starting from the banks of the Scheldt, the XXX Fortified Corps of the Guard Armored Division, 43rd Welsh Infantry Division and 8th Armoured Brigade had to relieve the paratroopers and once Arnhem reached Germany to encircle the Rhür from the north.

The 82nd US Airborne division commanded by General James M. Gavin (“Slim Jim” for his men) is in charge of the Nijmegen (Nijmegen) sector. Its mission is to control the key bridges of Graves and Nimègues as well as the bridges on the Maas/Waal canal while maintaining a defensive front facing the German border. The American paratroopers will have to hold out until the British tanks arrive.

“Nijmegen 44” will allow you to relive through 36 scenarios the battles that took place between 17 and 21 September 1944 in the Nijmegen area during Market Garden. The campaign consists of 8 chapters, each dealing with a sub-sector and a collection of special rules, battle orders and historical maps. It should be noted that you can play without the dike rules if you wish. A chapter will be shared every Tuesday on September 17, 2019, due to the 75th anniversary.

Chapitre 4 : les hauteurs de Groesbeek

Pendant la planification de Market-Garden le commandement allié avait noté l’importance des hauteurs de Groesbeek qui dominaient les approches de Nijmegen. A leurs sommets on pouvaient voir les routes empruntées par le XXX Corps ainsi que les routes de contre-attaques allemandes. Les généraux Browning (1^st Airborne Army) et Gavin étaient d’accord pour dire que sans le contrôle des hauteurs, prendre les ponts de Nijmegen seraient une tache impossible.

Chapter 1: Capturing the Grave Bridge

The Grave bridge was in 1944 the longest road bridge in Europe (400m) and the first of the 3 strategic bridges that the XXX Corps was to cross on the Arnhem road. Its intact catch was vital. If it were to be destroyed

the 82nd and 1st airborne would be condemned. As a result, General Gavin planned a “helping hand” drop as close as possible to the two approaches to the bridge.

Chapitre 3 : Molenhoek

La petite zone qui s’étendait entre les hauteurs de Groesbeek et la rivière  Maas représentait  une zone sensible du secteur de la 82^nd Airborne. Il arrivait la venant de la frontière allemande trois routes de renforcement.

Pour le Feldmarschal Model, une contre-attaque victorieuse dans ce secteur pouvait sceller le sort des 82^nd et 1^st  Airborne. La mission du 505^th PIR était de prendre et tenir ce secteur face aux inévitables contre-attaques allemandes.

Septembre 1944, le « blitzkrieg » allié suite à la percée de Cobra commence à s’essouffler. Malgré la capture inespéré du port d’Anvers intact (les rives de l’Escaut sont encore aux mains des Allemands)le gros du ravitaillement allié vient de Cherbourg. Il n’y a pas assez de ravitaillement pour alimenter à la fois les troupes de Patton et Montgomery.  Ce dernier propose alors à Eisenhower un plan audacieux permettant selon lui de finir la guerre à Noël : l’opération Market-Garden.

Trois divisions aéroportées (101st US, 82nd US et 1st UK) doivent sauter sur les régions de Eindhoven, Nijmegen et Arnhem pour y capturer des pont clés. Partant des rives de l’Escaut le XXX Corps fort de la Guard Armored Division, 43rd Welsh Infantry division et 8rd Armoured brigade devra relever les parachutistes et une fois Arnhem atteint s’enfoncer en Allemagne pour encercler la Rhür par le nord.

La 82nd US Airborne division commandée par le général James  M. Gavin (« Slim  Jim » pour ses hommes) est chargée du secteur de Nijmegen (Nimègues). Sa mission est de se rendre maitre des ponts clés de Graves et Nimègues ainsi que des ponts sur le canal Maas/Waal tout en maintenant un front défensif face à la frontière allemande. Les paras américains devront tenir jusqu’à l’arrivée des blindés Britanniques.
