The map of a battle that defined courage under siege.
This detailed 1:25,000 scale topographic map of Arnhem depicts the very ground where the 1st Airborne Division and the Polish Parachute Brigade landed and fought during Operation Market Garden in September 1944. The map covers key areas such as Heelsum, Oosterbeek, Doorwerth, Driel, and Arnhem, where British paratroopers held their positions against overwhelming odds.
For seven days, surrounded by elements of the II SS Panzer Corps, the 1st Airborne fought fiercely before being forced to withdraw when the relief columns of XXX Corps were unable to reach them. This map captures that landscape — the rivers, roads, and villages that became part of one of the most iconic airborne battles of the Second World War.
Each reproduction retains the fine detail, elevation markings, and cartographic precision of the original wartime issue, allowing you to study the terrain as the planners and soldiers once did.
