Geocache Description:

Published coords are bogus, it's just bring you to the Paratroops landing site where the operation start. Easy access and available 24 hours. No special equipment required on site.

It's late 1944, and the Allied armies are confident they'll win the World War II and be home in time for Christmas. What's needed, says British general Bernard Law Montgomery, is a knockout punch, a bold strike through Holland, where German troops are spread thin, that will put the Allies into Germany. Paratroops led by British major general Robert Urquhart (Name of FTF) and American brigadier general James Gavin (Name of 2TF) will seize a thin road and five bridges through Holland into Germany, with paratroops led by Lieutenant Col. John Frost (Name of 3TF) holding the most critical bridge at a small town called Arnhem. Over this road shall pass combined forces led by British Lieutenant Gen. Brian Horrocks (name of 4TF) and British Lieutenant Col. Joe Vandeleur (Name of 5TF). The plan requires precise timing, so much so that one planner tells Lieutenant Gen. Frederick Browning (Name of 6TF), "Sir, I think we may be going a bridge too far." The plan also has one critical flaw: Instead of a smattering of German soldiers, the area around Arnhem is loaded with crack SS troops (muggles and Mozzi).

At the Paratroops landing site, British major general ask,
“O.k, Now where is the Bridge? 2IC, what is the Coord?”
“Code? Sir, Here is the Code.”

“What is this? A Cipher? O.k, what is the Key word?”
“Key word? Operation Market Garden, Sir”
“The Key, The Key, The Key for the Cipher!!!”
“KEY? No Key, Sir”
“What?.........."
