    Market Garden failed. Not because roads are narrow in Holland, not because British 30 Corps was slow and not because there were two German Panzer Divisions in the area. It failed because this bridge in Nijmegen was captured too late. Read/buy my two books. pre-jump.nl

    There is no evidence to suggest that this is caused by car batteries at all. The original video posted on YouTube 3 years ago shows a large fire starting at the front of the ship spreading out. youtu.be/C2tFE86fQX0
