Two Polish airborne divisions out of three were flown from Amsterdam to Poland and Germans now are approaching the city southwest. Amsterdam is at risk of being surrounded.

Hungarians launched two main offensives in order to liberate Slovakia and occupy South Poland.
Slovakian offensive was very successful. After two week heavy fighting and the biggest battle so far in Hungarian front, Polish retreated from Bratislava on 19 April. Hungarians liberated almost all Slovakia and Slovakian government returned from Budapest.
Advance into South Poland was less successful. Forts built to protect from Germans now stopped Hungarian advance towards Krakow. 3.000 Polish paratroopers were able to hold 50.000 Hungarians.
Polish airborne regiments were not able to hold Stanislawow and retreated across Dniestr River. However, Hungarians were able to cross Dniestr too and are advancing towards Tarnopol. Combined arm regiments arrived on time and spoiled Hungarian plans to take Przemysl and Lwow.
5 Polish divisions which took part in North Italy campaign were re-deployed to Austria and stopped Hungarian advance towards Vienna.
