Market Garden: 82nd Airborne vs. German Fallschirmjäger at Devil's Hill!!!

Part 11 of the Market Garden series. A lot of the focus in Operation Market Garden goes to the roads and bridges, but there was a key feature that the 82nd Airborne was tasked with taking in September of 1944 that has largely gone overlooked. We're walking the ground and exploring some of the most well preserved fighting positions that you'll ever see at a place called Devil's Hill where the paratroopers of the All American Division clashed in a life or death struggle with the paratroopers of Nazi Germany. CORRECTION: At the 4:30 mark, I inadvertently said 3rd Fallschirmjäger Regiment when I meant to say 3rd Fallschirmjäger Division.
