Soviet forces push ever westwards, slicing their way through Poland en route to Berlin. In the west, the Allies have made great strides after the invasion of Normandy, but now face a winter of relative stagnation as supply issues threaten to undercut their momentum. At this time, British Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery believes has a plan to carve a corridor through occupied Netherlands and get his forces into Germany within days, striking at the heart of the German war economy, and maybe, just maybe, ending this war before 1945 dawns. In Part 1 of 2, we look over the plan, the forces involved, and the colossal effort required to make Monty&#8217;s vision a reality.<\/p>\n<p>00:00 Intro<br \/>\n01:12 Background<br \/>\n04:40 Planning<br \/>\n07:07 Disposition of Forces<br \/>\n09:05 Geographic Overview<br \/>\n11:30 Conclusion<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Join us on Patreon: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/TimeGhostHistory\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/TimeGhostHistory<\/a><br \/>\nOr join The TimeGhost Army directly at: <a href=\"https:\/\/timeghost.tv\/signup\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/timeghost.tv<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Follow WW2 day by day on Instagram @ww2_day_by_day &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/ww2_day_by_day\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/ww2_day_by_day<\/a><br \/>\nFollow Timeghost History on Instagram &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/timeghosthistory\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/timeghosthistory<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source list: <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/WW2sources\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/WW2sources<\/a><br \/>\nArchive footage: Screenocean\/Reuters &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.screenocean.com\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.screenocean.com<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Brought to you by the efforts of the TimeGhost Army Map Service (TAMS).<br \/>\nAndreas Olsson: Field Marshal of the Cartographic Front.
