Left for Dead: Urban Combat in Operation Market Garden

Part 6 of the Market Garden series. Gene Metcalfe's time in combat with the 82nd Airborne Division would be short. Less than 24 hours to be exact. On his first day, Gene would find himself engaged in a firefight with the 10th SS Panzer Division in the streets of Nijmegen where he would be wounded and captured. We're heading back to the exact spot where Gene was taken prisoner to hear the story from the man himself. This episode was produced in partnership with The Gettysburg Museum of History.
