Artwork 'Angels from Above' Market Garden by Matt Hall

In a very good condition a stunning first release of Valor Studio’s WII 65th Anniversary series, “Angels from Above” depicts the events of Operation Market-Garden on September 17, 1944.
The legend on the bottom of the lithograph reads: “In sun-swept skies, the C-47s of 9th Troop Carrier Command deliver their fighting cargo, the paratroopers of the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions above Holland’s soft drop zones. Deemed “Operation Market Garden,” the finest American, British, and Polish Airborne forces led the charge to enter Germany through Holland and to liberate the Dutch people after four years of Nazi occupation. However, fierce enemy resistance and blunders by high command would see the brave Airborne troops stopped short of the Rhine but, not before they liberated part of Holland and earned the name: “The Angels from Above.”

The artwork depicts elements of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment dropping onto Drop Zone C, located thirty kilometers behind the front lines and north of Eindhoven, Holland. The Regiment’s mission was to seize the bridge at Son over the Wilhelmina Canal as part of the Allied attempt to punch a hole into the heart of Germany’s industrial center, the Ruhr. The operational plan called for ground forces to make their way through Holland and Germany using a series of bridges secured by three Airborne divisions: the American 82nd and 101st, along with the British 1st who had the mission of seizing the furthest objective at Arnhem. Easy Company was just twenty-five meters from their objective when the Germans blew up the bridge. Engineers eventually paved the way for Allied armor and infantry to continue their mission, but the overall operation ground to a halt at the Rhine River, where the British 1st Airborne was isolated and eventually ordered to withdraw back into the Allied lines.

The artwork is proffesional framed and comes in a size of 32″ x 22.5″.
It's nicely signed by Matt Hall and 3 veterans of WW2 included Bobby Hunter 501st PIR 101st Airborne Division.
