12 May, 1944 Monte Cassino, Italy
A decisive attack of II Polish Corps started under the command of General Władysław Anders. Soldiers were heading for a night attack in a mined, almost unprotected terrain under heavy fire from highly trained German paratroopers.

For the next four days, artillery has been constantly shooting enemy positions. The monastery was all the harder to take because of the allied shelling and bombing raids. The monastery and the surrounding terrain were heavily damaged which slowed down the attack.
924 Polish soldiers were killed in the fight at Monte Cassino, 2930 were injured and 345. were found missing

Podhale Rifles (Polish: Strzelcy podhalańscy) is the traditional name of the mountain infantry units of the Polish Army. Formed in 1918 out of volunteers of the region of Podhale, in 1919 the smaller detachments of Podhale Rifles were pressed into two mountain infantry divisions, the 21st Mountain Infantry and 22nd Mountain Infantry Divisions, as well as into three brigades of mountain infantry and were considered elite units of the Polish Army.

After the Polish defeat in the Polish September Campaign, the Podhale units were recreated in France as Polish Independent Highland Brigade, had seen some action at Narvik, and later fought in the Battle of France and retreated into Switzerland upon the French defeat. Some units were also created underground as part of the partisan forces of the Armia Krajowa. The traditions of the Podhale Rifles are continued by the modern 21st Podhale Rifles Brigade.

May 18, 1944 Emil Czech plays the traditional bugle call in the shadow of the Polish flag on Monte Cassino.
Emil Czech repeatedly distinguished himself on the battlefield near Tobruk and in southern Italy, but went down in history when he replaced the rifle with a musical instrument for a moment.
