I'm working up towards doing a timeline with a PoD being a successful Operation Market Garden.
'Successful' meaning XXX Corps reach Arnhem and find 1st Airborne in posession of the road bridge, and get across in sufficient numbers to hold the bridgehead.
I don't really want to get into the usual slanging match over who's fault it was in OTL. What I'm interested in is what would happen after this.
What would the German response be? The 15th Army should be able to cause problems, but what about the forces being prepared for Wacht am Rhein? Will Hitler order some of those units Northward.
How would 21st Army Group follow the success up?
What about the US? Would they try to force another passage across the Rhine as soon as possible?
Suggestions, comments and abuse welcomed. Well, maybe not abuse, but I've been here long enough to expect it!
