1 The Paras have been dropped in the shit
2 The Germans have reacted with lightning speed to pile reinforcements into the Arnhem area
3 XXX Corps, the tanks/infantry supposed to 'drive like hell' 60 miles in 3 days to relieve the Paras, are dawdling. This means the resistance they meet gets progressively worse as the Germans get stronger. The plan was badly thought out and now it's being badly executed.

Oh dear. The paras have only just landed and things are beginning to go awry.

I have read the background to what is happening in Holland – the Germans were retreating in disarray but are now getting to grips with the remnants of their armies and resistance is stiffening. This does not bode well ...
