In September, 1944, as a side effect of Operation Market-Garden, which was an attempt to outflank the German West Wall belt of defenses by going around it to the north. The goal was to seize three bridges over three large Rivers in Holland - the Maas (Meuse), Waal and the Rijn (Rhine). By the end of the month Market-Garden had failed, but about the southern half of Holland was liberated. The rest of Hollnad had to wait for the last few days of the war in Europe.
