Other Memories On September 25, 1944, the 7th Armored was transferred to Ninth U.S. Army and began the march to the Netherlands where they were needed to protect the right (east) flank of the corridor opened by Operation Market-Garden. They were to operate in the southeast Netherlands, so that British and Canadian forces and the 104th Infantry Division could clear the Germans from the Scheldt Estuary in the southwest Netherlands and open the shippling lanes to the critical port of Antwerp, to allow Allied ships to bring supplies from Britain.
