Operation Market Garden was one of the most ambitious Allied plans of World War II. A bold airborne assault. A single highway. A promise to end the war before winter.
But beneath the confidence, warning signs were already forming.
In this episode of Fog of War, we examine how intelligence was acknowledged but not trusted, how momentum replaced caution, and how certainty slowly overtook clarity. Market Garden did not collapse in a single dramatic moment. It unraveled through assumptions, delayed recognition, and a refusal to reassess when reality changed.
This series is not about glorifying war. It is about understanding it — especially the moments when plans met chaos.
