Since 1941 a Polish brigade has been training in Scotland under the command of the able General Stanislav Sosabowski. They are patiently waiting for the chance to help liberate their stricken homeland. However, events take a different course. On 21st September the Poles are parachuted into the Gelderse village of Driel which up to that point had little to do with the war. By this time the British have more or less lost the Battle of Arnhem. The Germans have rendered the Rhine an unassailable barrier and the crossing to Oosterbeek is nigh impossible. The Polish Eagle and British Pegasus are now left to salvage what they can. This is based on the real story of Arnhem and her lost battle.
