Battle of Arnhem

Overview

The Battle of Arnhem, also known as the storming of Arnhem, saw Friedrich Wilhelm Freiherr von Bülow's Prussian corps fight an Imperial French division under Henri François Marie Charpentier at Arnhem. Attacking under the cover of fog, the Prussians broke into the city at several points and forced the French to retreat to Nijmegen after hard fighting in this War of the Sixth Coalition clash. Arnhem is a city in the Netherlands located on the Rhine River 100 kilometres (62 mi) southeast of Amsterdam.

Significance

The structured facts and overview for this entry are irreconcilably contradictory: the structured data places the battle on 1 January 1813 during the War of the Sixth Coalition between French and Prussian forces, while the supplied overview describes the 1944 Allied Operation Market Garden during the Second World War. No reliable significance can be written without a consistent source. The French force of 4,000 faced a Prussian force of 10,000, sustaining 1,500 casualties under commanders Charpentier and Bülow, but no outcome or campaign effect is recorded. Until the source conflict is resolved, a grounded encyclopedia entry cannot be produced.
