The Last Drop: Operation Varsity, March 24-25, 1945

Operation Varsity was the last major airborne offensive of World War II and remains the largest and most successful drop in history. Conducted primarily by the British 6th Airborne and the American 17th Airborne Divisions, including Canadian elements, the goal of the operation was to cross the Rhine River and gain a foothold in Germany. This book combines first-person accounts from veterans with action-packed narration to tell the story of the last drop.
