About "Girlpower!"

by Wim van Gerven

About the artwork

The city of Arnhem and Operation Market Garden are inextricably linked. Operation Market Garden, which took place in September 1944 was the largest airborne offensive in the Netherlands and aimed to end World War II as quickly as possible and liberate the Netherlands.
On 21 September 1944, over 1,000 Polish paratroopers landed just outside Arnhem. They held out against the German occupiers for several days before receiving reinforcements from the British. During the night of 25-26 September, the Poles evacuated over 2,500 British from the north side of the Rhine River to the south side in one night. This was the end of Market Garden, but the battle to the final liberation continued for another seven months. Annually, Operation Market Garden is commemorated in the Arnhem region in a big way, including drops of British and Polish paratroopers from original Dakota planes.

The photo shows one of them: not a paramilitary as many of us often imagine, but a charming, modern, Polish young woman, just after she landed safely on Dutch soil by her parachute! So this is real "Girlpower"! The contrast between her appearance and the outfit she was wearing really appealed to me and therefore immediately caught my attention, making it a special photo of a special "contemporary hero".
