Special event station PA70PARA honours the 70th commemoration of the Allied airborne troops who fought in Operation Market Garden, in and around the city of Arnhem, the Netherlands in September 1944.
In The Hague, on 31 May 2006, Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands awarded the Military Order of William to the 1st Independent Polish Parachute Brigade. Despite British diplomatic pressure, the brigade's commander, Sosabowski, was posthumously awarded the "Bronze Lion". In part this was the result of a Dutch TV documentary depicting the brigade as having played a far more significant role in Market Garden than had been hitherto acknowledged. In this film Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands said the Poles deserved to be honoured with at least a medal.
