After holding out in Arnhem for four nights and three days, the 2nd Parachute Battalion surrendered overnight.
At Oosterbeek there was around 3,000 men of the 1st Airborne Division dug in to form a perimeter.
Everything including ammunition was now in short supply and most of the men had not eaten for over twenty-four hours.

Headquarters 4th Parachute Brigade began to function again and a small number of stragglers from the parachute battalions were reunited with their units.
The brigade was now responsible for all units in the eastern half of the perimeter.
In descending order from north to south were the 1st Airborne Reconnaissance Squadron, 156 Para, 'D' Squadron GPR, 10 Para at the Oosterbeek crossroads, 'C' Squadron GPR, 21st Independent Parachute Company, the RASC Detachment and finally Lonsdale Force.

In the south-east Lonsdale Force's Major Cain armed with a PIAT anti-tank projectile engaged in a fight with German armoured vehicles for which he would be awarded the Victoria Cross.
Elsewhere around the brigade's positions the Germans mounted a number of small attacks, at times supported by armour.
Shortage of ammunition made the defenders hold fire until the Germans got within 20 yards (18 m).
The tactic was successful and time after time the Germans were beaten back.
In between German infantry attacks, the defenders came under almost constant mortar and artillery bombardment, which was responsible for the destruction of the divisional ammunition dump.
At one stage Major Powell of 156 Para discovered that he and his men were surrounded when the British units on either side of them pulled back without informing them.
Asking for permission to withdraw, he gained the impression that headquarters had forgotten about them or thought they had been wiped out.
The gaps in the perimeter did allow individual German snipers to infiltrate brigade positions and the Glider Pilots had to send out dedicated anti-sniper patrols to hunt them down.
Patrols from both sides moved around the brigade's area and anyone caught in the open during daylight was liable to be confronted by the other side and shot.
Touring his brigade positions, Brigadier Hackett, Lieutenant-Colonel Thompson of the artillery and the Brigade Major Tiny Maddon, were caught in the open by mortar fire.
Maddon was killed outright while Hackett and Thompson were both wounded and taken to the house of Mrs Kate ter Horst for treatment.

Two days later than expected, the parachute battalions of the 1st Polish Parachute Brigade landed south of the River Rhine to the east of Driel.
Although unable to cross the river, the Poles at least relieved the pressure on the troops at Oosterbeek, when the Germans diverted 2,400 troops to contain them.
By now the division had made first contact with XXX Corps 11 miles (18 km) to the south and could call upon the guns of 64 Medium Regiment, Royal Artillery to break up German attacks.
The Poles arrival rejuvenated the Germans, at 18:40 Lonsdale Force was attacked.
The next attack came at 19:05 in the west and 10 Para were attacked at 20:10.
First, houses holding 10 Para were set alight then assaulted by German infantry, but they continued to hold out.
