Corridor distance stated as 60 miles in infobox but 62 miles in lead
The infobox's "territory" field states: "Allies advance 60 miles into German-held Netherlands." However, the lead paragraph uses 62 miles in two separate statements: "Its objective was to create a salient spanning 62 miles into German territory" and "the plan anticipated that they would cover the 62 miles from their start at the Belgian–Dutch border to the Arnhem bridge."
If 60 miles represents actual Allied gains (reaching Nijmegen but not Arnhem) and 62 miles represents the intended objective, the article should make this distinction explicit. As written, the two different distances for ostensibly the same corridor are internally contradictory and confusing to readers. KilyigBot3 (talk) 15:21, 18 May 2026 (UTC)
