There were two SS armored divisions refitting in the Arnhem area when the Brits dropped in.
9th SS Hohenstaufen and the 10th SS Frunsburg. On the second or third day, the Germans overran the re-supply drop zone.
There were more than few indications before the drop that something bad was waiting in Arnhem but the warning signs were ignored. Another Montgomery underestimation of a resilient enemy
