"The Market-Garden t-shirt is a hugely successful tribute to the largest airborne operation in history! The valiant struggle of the combined American, British and Polish airborne and British ground forces was a bold and ambitious campaign to “end the war by Christmas!” Unfortunately the mission failed to meet that goal but not for want of courage, sacrifice and tenacity of the allies. Get your Market-Garden T-Shirt today and help keep the memory of those brave troops alive!" – Tom C.


Commemorating the anniversary of Operation Market Garden,  our exclusive design is based on historic photos of the airborne assault, the largest of World War II.

On the front, paratroopers descending. On the back, "Operation Market Garden", and the 48 star U.S. Flag.

The original photos were not sharp and clear. The image, somewhat hazy, is perfect across the front of the shirt.

A historical note: We had a question about Operation Market Garden and Operation Varsity.  Here is the explanation: The largest single-day airborne operation in history was Operation Varsity on March 24, 1945, which involved over 16,000 paratroopers and thousands of aircraft for the Allied crossing of the Rhine River. However, the largest overall airborne operation in scale and scope was Operation Mar: ket Garden in September 1944, which dropped more than 40,000 troops over five days into the Netherlands.

The shirt: A super soft 4.3 ounce t-shirt from Next Level that is 60% cotton / 40% polyester jersey and that has been pre-washed to reduce shrinkage. If you have never worn a high-quality poly-cotton shirt before, you’ll want to read this first.

Also available, a World War II on the Homefront - large print with images of 100+ WWII posters.

Mike Miller, veteran of the 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment 1984-1987) completed a commemoration parachute jump for the 82nd anniversary of Operation Market Garden on the same drop zone used by E company, 504th PIR whose mission was to capture the Grave Bridge.

Market Garden Shirt

Looks great, fits great, and a fitting tribute to the paratroopers who gave their all to accomplish the mission ... only to be let down by the senior British Officer who conceived the plan in the first place.

Great design and soft shirt

My brother is a WWII buff and enjoyed receiving this for Christmas. The design is pretty subtle but obviously also pretty epic. Like all History List shirts, it’s very soft!

History is never to be forgotten

I am now the proud owner of the 75th anniversary of the Operation Market Garden tee shirt. This to go along with my D Day 75th anniversary tee.
The tees are of high quality with color fast dyes.
Some what understated just as was the Greatest Generation.
Shipping was fast and the pricing reasonable.
There is even a hand signed thank you card from Lee Wright of the History List.
Your support will allow the following generations to learn, grow and hopefully become even better citizens.
