Operation Market Garden order of battle

This is the complete order of battle of Allied and German forces involved during Operation Market Garden.

Allied forces edit

US General Dwight D. Eisenhower was Supreme Commander of the Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Forces (SHAEF) and in that capacity was ultimately responsible for the planning and execution of the whole operation. British Air Chief Marshal Sir Arthur Tedder was his deputy, while Major General Walter Bedell Smith was chief of staff.

British general Bernard Montgomery was in charge of the 21st Army Group which included all the ground forces in the operation. Montgomery was also the chief advocate for Market Garden.

German forces edit

The majority of German units stationed west of the Rhine were under the responsibility of Oberbefehlshaber West (OB West), commanded at the time by Generalfeldmarschall Gerd von Rundstedt. Due to a lack of replacements (both in terms of personnel and materiel) German units were generally severely understrength at this point in the war, with many units at about 50% of establishment strength.
