Hey Thor you should consider reacting to "A Bridge To Far" an excellent movie about the operation covered in this episode that was made in 1977. It had an all star cast and is really well done. Injuries on jumps were pretty common, in this battle General Gavin of the 82 Airborne cracked his spine on landing and fought in considerable pain throughout the operation.

The British 1st Airborne suffered such high casualties because they expected Allied Tanks to reach them in 3 days but the tanks were stopped and never made it. After holding out for nearly two weeks what was left of the 1st Airborne abandoned it's wounded and tryed to make it back across the river as best they could. Unknown to Allied planners the Germans had moved 2 SS Panzer Divisions into Arnhem the British objective just before the jumps for rest and refit so the Brits jumped into hell basically.
