On 21 September 1944, 1003 parachutists of the 1^st Polish Independent Parachute Brigade landed in Driel and the surrounding area to participate in the Battle of Arnhem.
A year after this date a committee was founded, the Driel–Poland Committee (now called the Driel-Poland foundation), with the objective of:
Keeping the memory alive of the contribution of the 1^st Polish Independent Parachute Brigade to the Battle of Arnhem, by organising a commemoration on an annual basis, disseminating information about the contribution of the Polish soldiers to the Battle of Arnhem and involving the residents of Driel in the commemorations.
