Grave Bridge
WWII 1944 Terrain – Operation Market Garden, Netherlands

Grave Bridge
Grave Bridge, spanning the Maas River in the Netherlands, was a critical objective during Operation Market Garden, the largest airborne assault of World War II. On September 17, 1944, the 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment of the U.S. 82nd Airborne Division successfully captured the bridge intact, preventing its destruction by retreating German forces. This allowed Allied armor to push north toward Nijmegen and Arnhem in an ambitious bid to outflank the Siegfried Line and end the war by Christmas.

The surrounding area saw intense fighting as American paratroopers secured the village of Grave and pushed east toward the Maas-Waal Canal, encountering resistance from German units dug in across farms, road junctions, and woodland. The capture and defense of Grave Bridge was pivotal in linking Allied forces with the British XXX Corps advancing from the south.

Editor's note: This is an all new terrain - I will keep the old verson of Grave on STEAM workshop as not to disrupt people's files. This terrain features 31 unique locations with a focal point in the center. Grave Bridge itself is cosmetic and the troops will not cross. I was a bit inspired by a few sources, mainly 1943 Library of Congress map references.
