South of Dreil, Holland, 22 September, 1944:

On 21 September, General Sosabowski's 1st Polish Parachute Brigade at last made its much-delayed drop. In the dark early 
hours of the 22nd, a troop of armored cars from the Household Cavalry, taking advantage of a heavy fog and back roads not 
suitable for tanks, slipped past the west flank of the German defensive screen to reach them. That same Friday morning 
General Thomas was to break his 43rd Wessex Division out of Nijmegan and strike north. But the 7th Somersets, the lead 
battallion of the 214th Brigade which was to push through Oosterhaut and link with the Polish paratroopers at Dreil, had 
failed to find its way through the traffic chaos in the city, and the advantage of Thomas' planned pre-dawn attack had been 
lost. Nevertheless, the link-up could not be delayed, for the British across the Rhine were in desperate straits by now. 
In full light the Germans, alerted by the recon unit's drive through their lines and bolstered during the night with a 
headquarters infantry battalion and a company of Panthers, were prepared to give them a bloody time of it.
