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)
Right but they happened simultaneously more or less
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.
