During Operation Market Garden, the 1st Independent Polish Parachute Brigade landed on the south side of the Rhine River, directly across from where the British 1st Airborne Division was trapped. The brigade's mission was to get across the river to reinforce the British and the responsibility of getting them across fell to the engineer company. Without proper equipment and training the Polish engineer company struggled with their assignment. This is their story. 32 b + w pages Original maps and drawings Roll Of Honour Nominal Roll
The Wrong Side Of The River: The Polish Engineer Company At Arnhem (Market Garden Engineer Series) Reviews
-
This is good but really for people who have to know everything that there is to know. Given this is literally about this company action at Arnhem that is not a lot. Quite readable and covers both the glider borne section that landed on the landing ground north of the Rhine river as well as the parachute element that landed later with the rest of the Polish brigade to the south. For the completest. 4 stars for delivering what it says it would but this really is a 52 page booklet
