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.
