Well, the people that were freed in the low countries certainly appreciated it even though the last objective was not met.
In the 80’s on business I had to pleasure of visiting Nijmegen. The hotel I stayed at had a cafe. When I ordered my lunch the waiter - in almost perfect English - asked me if I wanted a tour of the town. Suspecting a scam I inquired at the front desk about the tour and the clerk highly recommended it and pointed to a man sitting in the lobby. She said please go over to him and ask about the tour. I went over and introduced my self and he asked in I was American. I cautiously replied yes. He jumped up vigorously shook my hand. Turns out he was a 12 year old boy when the battle occurred. He showed my around the area and gave me his first hand account of the battle. No charge. Wound up in a local bar where I couldn’t buy a drink. Yes the locals were/are grateful.
But the heart of the low countries were not freed until after Hitler’s suicide and the German surrender.
Holland was one of the last areas occupied by the Nazis when the war ended.
