The Allies have learned from their costly mistakes during Operation Market Garden: For Operation Varsity, the paratroopers and glider infantry will land directly ahead of the main assault, thus being able to link up with them immediately.
The 6th Airborne Division will land directly north of Wesel, in order to seize crossings over the river Ijssel as well as the town of Hamminkeln.

The coup de main force will land in gliders in Landing Zone O, directly west of Hamminkeln. Once the landing zone is secured, the first priority is the seizure of two bridges over the Ijssel.
Reinforcements will arrive from Landing Zone R in the south, including airborne tanks, in order to capture the town itself.

German forces are a mix of paratroopers and remnants of the 87th Division. They might have some tanks in support. There are also several Volkssturm units of questionable strenght in the area.
