1:72 Italeri 6107 Hartenstein Hotel 1944 Market Garden Arnhem Netherlands - September 1944 - Battle Set Plastic Model kit

The Hartenstein Hotel 1944 Market Garden Arnhem Netherlands - Battle Set is a detailed model kit commemorating a significant moment in World War II. After the Normandy landings in June 1944, the Allies devised a plan to invade German territory and end the war as quickly as possible. Operation "Market Garden", conceived by Bernard Montgomery, aimed to bypass German defenses through the use of British, American, and Polish airborne troops. The paratroopers were tasked with seizing control of the bridges in the Netherlands, between Eindhoven and Arnhem, to secure the Allies' routes into Germany.

The Italeri 6107 served as the headquarters for the 1st British Airborne Division during the operation and was the focal point of all activities. Despite their valiant efforts, the Allies faced strong German resistance and failed to cross the Rhine, resulting in the operation's failure and prolonging the war by several more months of fighting before the Allies could enter Germany.

This Battle Set includes:

• 50 British paratroopers
• 50 German infantrymen
• Willys Jeep (fast assembly model)
• Sturmgeschütz III (fast assembly model)
• Various battlefield buildings
• The Hartenstein Hotel (MDF laser cut for a realistic finish)
