Airborne Museum Hartenstein
Not everyone was thanked for their efforts immediately after the war. The Battle of Arnhem was lost, and British Army command put some of the blame on the Poles, even though the Poles fought so hard.
The Netherlands was late in giving the Polish troops recognition as well.
Only in 2006 did they receive Dutch decorations and honours, 61 years later.
