Yeah Market Garden turned into an absolute shitshow.

IIRC Market Garden was more due to the lack of supplies to reinforce paratroopers after they dropped, so they ended up having to retreat instead of pushing forward.

(D-Day was Operation Overlord)

Market Garden was in the Netherlands after Operation Overlord, which was the invasion of occupied France. It was a few months later. If you're thinking of the Airborne landings in Normandy as part of Overlord, that also had its own fair share if screw ups.
