His job was to coordinate the operations of the three airborne divisions in the corridor. Browning acted as the XO for the First Allied Airborne Army, led by Lt- Gen Lewis Brereton. In the afternoon the 376th Parachute Field Artillery Battalion landed on DZ- N at Klein- Amerika and gliders landed at Overasselt carrying elements of Lt- Gen Frederick Browning’s headquarters. In the evening he would lead his troops into Grave, which was abandoned by the enemy. The Grave bridge was also taken swiftly by paratroopers of E- 504 PIR, lead by First Lieutenant John Thompson. The 505th was confronted with some enemy resistance but were quickly able to repulse the attacks and secure the area. Main targets for the 82nd Airborne Division were the bridges at Grave, Malden, Heumen, Hatert, Honinghutje and the ultimate goal, the Waal bridges (rail- and road bridge) at Nijmegen.
