Basically what the tin says. What would have happened if there had not happened? I don't think it was winnable as planned and was a "gift" to Monty's vanity (feel free to correct me).
I mean true, they didn't know that the 2nd SS was refitting in the area and the Airborne was way beyond reasonable logistics lines.
But what if there was no Market Garden? I admit I think the Airborne concept didn't work for any side in WWII, feel free to correct me. I think maybe the only exception might be the German Fallschirmjager and glider assualt in Belgium and grabbing Mussolini.
Would there have been a better scenario around that time for a Airborne assualt? Or a better use of the tanks and 101st and Red Legs? Maybe behind the Sigfried line (that's my idea for a TL)? Was the logistical situation dictating they had to do something like that?
