Description

Greetings, history enthusiasts. I'm Steve Matthews, and welcome back to WW2 Stories. Today, we're going to explore one of the most consequential yet often overlooked operations of World War II – a massive airborne assault that played a pivotal role in bringing the European conflict to its conclusion. This is the story of Operation Varsity, the largest single-day airborne operation in military history and, as some historians have called it, "the battle that ended World War II in Europe."
