History of the RHINELAND 1944-1945 Battle Streamer
During the Rhineland Campaign of September 17-20, 1944, the Army Air Forces and Royal Air Force conducted OPERATION MARKET, a major airborne operation dropping U.S., British, and Polish divisions, creating a vital corridor. Despite challenges, the Allies showed resilience, with subsequent Canadian attacks opening the port at Antwerp. Advancing through Aachen in October, tactical air forces played a crucial role, countering Luftwaffe threats. November saw successful offensives against Germans, overcoming challenges like the Battle of the Bulge. By March 15, 1945, Allied forces had pushed the last German forces across the Rhine, marking a significant milestone in World War II.
