Many articles have been written and many historical - war publications have been devoted to Brig Gen Stanisław Sosabowski, one of the most famous Polish commanders during the Second World War. His role in the First Independent Parachute Brigade’s organising and training is commonly well known; similarly, Sosabowski’s and his brigade’s participation in the biggest in history airborn operation conducted in the framework of air - land operation coded “Market-Garden”. His lots are known after the war when he settled down permanently in Britain. This article is dedicated to one of the most difficult and crucial moments in Sosabowski’s career. Gen Sosabowski’s attitude was very sceptical already in operation “Market-Garden” planning stage when he pointed out British generals many errors. They did not approve this attitude. After the operation at Arnhem British commanders, with Frederick Browning leading, forced Polish civilian and military authorities to dismiss Sosabowski from the position of the First Independent Parachute Brigade’s commander.

In September 1944, the largest in history air landing operation was carried out under the code name “Market” on the territory of Holland. Together with the part including land forces operations (code name “Garden”) it was, according to the allied forces’ command, to create appropriate conditions to attack Germany’s industrial “heart” the Ruhr District. Marshall Bernard Montgomery thought that all these operations might lead to defeat German forces and finish the war in 1944. Apart from American and British paratroops, also the Polish First Independent Parachute Brigade commanded by Brig. Gen. Stanisław Sosabowski took part in the operation “Market” . Together with the British First Airborne Division it was to capture bridges and the bridgehead on the northern bank of the Rein in the vicinity of Arnhem. The operation, because of many reasons, ended with complete failure. The hardest fights took place in the area of Arnhem. The Polish brigade played a great role in them suffering great losses.
