...TWENTIETH CENTURY (CBS, 6-6:30 p.m.). "Airdrop at Arnhem" recounts the massive Allied paratroop attack behind Nazi lines in Holland on Sept. 17, 1944, and reviews the tragic failure of this bold plan to hasten the end of World War II.

Nailed to the cross by wrists and ankles, the victim, in a desperate struggle for breath, alternately shifted his weight from arms to legs until he slumped down utterly exhausted. With the body weight resting on the arms, the diaphragm could no longer expel carbon dioxide...
