Conducted by the British 6th and the American 17th Airborne Divisions, the goal of the operation was to cross the Rhine River and gain a foothold in Germany. Drawing on war diaries, unit histories, after-action reports, and interviews with veterans, The Last Drop details the horrors of parachuting through flak-filled skies, the dangers of piloting a glider safely to the ground, and the struggles of infantry combat, and shows how thorough training, extensive planning, solid execution, and sheer guts combined to make Operation Varsity a stunning victory.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51310288470304,"sku":"NEW081170310X","price":45.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61z-pDpzy_L.jpg?v=1772824685","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-last-drop-operation-varsity-march-24-25-1945-081170310x","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
