The 6th Airborne Division was the second of two airborne divisions formed by the British Army during the Second World War.〔Ferguson, p.15〕 Raised in 1943, the division fought in the Normandy landings (Operation Deadstick, Operation Tonga, Operation Mallard, Battle of Breville), the Battle of the Bulge in December 1944 and January 1945. The division then participated in Operation Varsity the second airborne assault over the River Rhine during the war. Afterwards the division advanced north to the Baltic sea, reaching Wismar by the end of the war.〔Ferguson, pp.17–30〕
In the immediate post war period the 1st Airborne Division was disbanded leaving the 6th as the only airborne division in the British Army.〔Ferguson, p.31〕 Near the end of 1945, the division was named the Imperial Strategic Reserve and posted to the Middle East and deployed in an internal security role, during unrest in the British mandate of Palestine. By 1948, the British Army numbers had returned to peace time levels and the division was disbanded leaving the independent 2nd Parachute Brigade as the only regular army airborne formation.〔Ferguson, p.46〕
