- Date published: 2008
Mechanicsburg, PA: Stackpole Books, (2008). First Edition, stated. Octavo, gray textured boards (hardcover), xii, 321 pp. Fine in a Fine dust jacket. From dust jacket: In March 1945 Allied forces prepared for the final drive into Germany to end World War II. Standing in their way were the Rhine River and, on the opposite bank, desperate German defenders ready to fight to the last man. Operation Varsity -- the last major airborne assault of World War II and the largest airborne assault of all time -- began on the morning of March 24 when a fleet of Allied transport planes took off from air bases in France and England. In addition to towing more than 1,300 gliders, the planes carried some 17,000 paratroopers from two Allied divisions -- the Red Devils of the British 6th Airborne Division and the Thunder from Heaven of the U.S. 17th Airborne Division. While the 6th had parachuted into battle on D-Day, the 17th had never jumped in combat before. Their mission was to drop behind enemy lines near Wesel, Germany, and gain a foothold for the Allied ground troops who would soon pour across the Rhine.
