Beschrijving

This is the only map of its kind devised and created by Major and Mrs Holt and is used by many guides
 
It shows the locations of 300 memorials and war cemeteries over THE WHOLE OPERATION MARKET-GARDEN AREA
 
It shows the progress of the battle from Leopoldsburg to  Eindhoven, Nijmegen, Arnhem and Oosterbeek overlaid on modern roads
 
In four colours, double sided and with 10 inset maps it shows all drop and landing zones
 
Suitable for navigation by car, bicycle or foot
 
Size - The map measures 19.5 inches (49cm) by 28 inches (71cm). It is printed in four colours and is on firm glossy paper.
 
On one side at a scale of 1:180,000 is shown the whole of the Market Garden corridor of operations from Arnhem in the north to Leopoldsburg in the south and from Vught in the west to Overloon in the east. See below for details of the other side.
 
What is Marked on the Map
 
This map is quite unique and no other exists that shows the Market Garden Corridor in such detail. Over 230 memorials are clearly indicated as well as a dozen museums and 42 military cemeteries or military burial plots.
 
On the 1:180,000 side are indexes that cover that map and the inset maps of Leopoldsburg, Eindhoven and Vught. Overlaid on the map are the routes taken by the ground forces from the XXX Corps start line at Joe's Bridge on the Belgian border as well as the drop zones used by the British 1st Airborne Division and the American 101st and 82nd Airborne Divisions.
 
On the other side is a greatly expanded map of the Arnhem to Oosterbeek area showing the exact drop/landing zones for the British 1st Airborne Division and the routes taken forward towards the bridge over the Rhine. Inset into that map are detailed maps of the St Elisabeth Hospital area, the John Frost Bridge area and the Oosterbeek perimeter. Also on this side is a similarly expanded map showing the drop zones and movements of the American 82nd 'All American' Airborne Division from Groesbeek towards Nijmegen and with inset and indexed maps to Nijmegen and to Grave. On both sides is a base map showing modern roads thus making navigation simple.
