Operation Market Garden: The Story of Hell's Highway
Operation
Market Garden was a real-life Allied offensive designed to destroy Nazi
Germany before Christmas, 1944. The plan was ambitious - it was largest
airborne invasion in the history of the world. The plan was to capture a
corridor through Holland to punch through the German lines.
Paratroopers of the 101st Airborne and other divisions dropped from the
sky in mid-September to seize and hold the corridor by surprise. The
surprise attack was a bust. Hitler's best units were in the area and
immediately counter-attacked and crushed the corridor.
Meet the Squad
Although players see the chaos of Operation Market Garden exclusively through the eyes of Sgt. Matt Baker, Hell's Highway
is squad-based and as such players will direct, interact with, and get
to know all the members of the 101st Airborne in intimate detail. Some
of the characters return from earlier games in the series, while others
are brand new. Regardless, each has his own personality, history and
attitudes towards the plight the squad finds themselves in as they seek
to survive a bold, but doomed plan. Some of the dog faces players will
encounter are include:
Name & Rank: Sgt. Matt Baker Preferred Weapon: M1 Rifle Bio: With his experience from the battles of Normandy, Baker enters Holland fully accepting the mantle and responsibilities of squad leader. However, the loss of half his original squad still weighs heavily on him and he will not let any more of his men die. | |
Name & Rank: Sgt. Joe "Red" Hartsock Preferred Weapon: M1A1 Thompson Bio: A corporal under Baker's command, he was promoted to Sergeant after the battle in Carentan. Unlike Baker, Red understands the realities of war and is prepared to make the tough decisions required of a squad leader. All he can do is minimize the casualties. | |
Name & Rank: Pfc. Mike Dawson Preferred Weapon: M1A1 Thompson Bio: Though a newcomer to the squad, Mike served with the 502nd PIR in Normandy. He believes in fate and is interested in the story of Baker's "cursed pistol." His inquiries have made him a pariah, as the other members would rather not re-live those events. | |
Name & Rank: Cpl. Tom Zanovich Preferred Weapon: M1918A2 B.A.R. Bio: The "old man" and veteran of the squad, Zanozich served in the French Foreign Legion before enlisting in the U.S. Army. Despite all the combat he's seen, Tom has a strong sense of humor - even when the situation doesn't exactly call for it. | |
Name & Rank: Cpl. Sam Corrion Preferred Weapon: M1A1 Thompson Bio: Corrion was a corporal with Baker and Hartsock before Normandy, and much to his dismay, is still a corporal. Sam excelled as a foreman in the saw mill back home, and believes that he could perform better than either of his compatriots, if only given a chance. |
