Many, many years ago in a farm north of Oxford, I talked with a British farmer who, as a young enlisted man, had interacted extensively with Polish soldiers during the war. He described them as the toughest, most resilient people he had ever met. "Tough as nails, tough as nails," he kept repeating, his head shaking in amazement at the memories of seeing the Poles endure without hesitation the ugliest weathers, the harshest conditions, the most hopeless missions and above all, the perpetual disillusionment with their allies and their own fate. Poland is a martyred country that lives on because of its people. It is not a country made exclusively of earth and water, but of the flesh, the blood and the strength of mind and soul of its people. God bless them and keep them all. Long live Poland.

The Polish Forces suffered the most in the war. Imagine fighting to free your country, only for it to be taken over by another tyrant.

My hometown, Breda (Netherlands), was liberated by the 1st Polish Armoured Division. They were certainly not forgotten here. Many are buried here in the polish warcemetary, including their commanding officer general Maczek. Many also ended staying here after the war, marrying local women and build a new life here rather than returning to newly communist Poland. The local war-memorial is in fact a german panther-tank the polish captured somwhere and put on a pedestal here.

As a Pakistani, we have a lot to thank Polish military officers, especially in aeronautics. One man in particular needs to be mentioned. Often overlooked by the majority, but not entirely forgotten, Air Commodore Władysław Józef Marian Turowicz, commonly known as W. J. M. Turowicz, played a crucial role in the formation of the Pakistan Air Force and gained recognition as a key figure in Pakistan's space and missile program. Hailing from Poland, he emerged as a celebrated national hero in Pakistan.

The polish did not nearly receive the recognition her armed forces and people deserve. Then they went from Nazi occupation to Soviet occupation. Absolutely phenomenal job in research Dr. Felton!!!

1st Polish Armoured Division has a special place in our hearts. Greetings and Dziękuję from Breda (NL)

I used to drink with Jerry a Polish soldier who fought at Monte Cassino. He said it was a terrible battle. He was friends with a Para, they had previously encountered each other at Monte Cassino and became best friends when meeting again 40 years later in the pub and recognising each other. I spent many evenings listening to the two of them telling their war stories. Both heroes.

Here in The Netherlands we never forgotten the Polish men who fought here, we have several monuments remembering their bravery. There is also a dedicated Polish Airborne memorial-walk every year in Driel, and in Museum Hartenstein there is much info about the actions around Arnhem.The memorial walk is not the more well-known Airborne March in Oosterbeek,, but still well visited.

I had an uncle who was in the Polish Army in 1939. He was captured by the Soviets when they attacked Poland from the east. He ended up at a prison camp in Siberia (he and his fellow Polish soldiers literally had to build their own prison barracks when they first arrived). Eventually, he was freed by the Soviets when they joined the Allies. He ended up in a Polish Army unit which fought at Monte Cassino in Italy. After the war his cousin in the U.S. sponsored his coming to the United States. One thing I recall him telling me was, "Never trust a Russian."

My late father was the son of a Polish officer murdered at Katyn, he came out of Russia via Persia and India to eventually arrive in England and joined the Polish navy, he was on a ship called the ORP Dragon which took part I. The D-Day landings, shelling German army positions around Caen. A German mini sub attacked the destroyer and badly damaged it, 30 Polish sailors died in the attack and ship was towed into the coastline and was scuttled to form part of a Mulberry harbour. He was reposted to another ship via Plymouth and was demobbed and settled in London as he could not return to Poland after the war. One small episode in the history of Polish forces during WW2…….it is also worth mentioning the memorial in the Gunnersbury Park cemetery to the murdered Polish officers at Katyn which was finally erected decades after the end of the war, again due to the fear of upsetting Anglo Soviet relations post war…..

The Polish destroyer Piorun was attached to the Royal Navy units that finally hunted down the German battleship Bismarck in the spring of 1941. On the night before the Bismarck was finally sunk this destroyer harrassed the limping battleship in a one hour artillery duel, while taunting the Germans with transmissions of "I am a Pole".

back in the early 80's I was a Bartender and my Boss was Polish. As a 15 year old when Germany took Poland he took his paper route money and asked a Pilot at Linden Airport NJ to train him. after he got his pilots cert he asked his parents if he could go to fight for Poland and they agreed. He landed in London only to find Poland was over. He joined the RAF wing and soon the Polish Force. he fought with them until the Americans Joined and he had to be absorbed and became part of a Bomber group. The man was amazing and led quite the life from what I recall these many years later.

I grew up in London in the immediate aftermath of WW2 and I remember, as a real youngster, the place being full, in a good way, of Poles and Czechs. Hard, disciplined, proud, orderly men bringing a calm dignity to delivery driving, shop work, cafe ownership, car repair work and so on. I was in awe of them - and a bit scared, too.

The Polish forces were prevented from being present at the Victory Parade in London, as it was feared that their presence there would anger Stalin. A school friend's father (who was Polish) had fought with the British Army and was particularly bitter about that event. Also many Poles were shipped back to Poland after the war and were immediately sent to Gulags, usually never to return. Not very good treatment by the British Government of the day.

I met the founder of the Henri Lloyd clothing company at Powerscourt Waterfall near Dublin once. He was very old and wearing a lot of medals and I spoke with him - he had fought in Italy and said how proud they were at defeating the Germans at Monte Cassino which they saw as their first victory over the Germans.. Like so many of the Poles who fought in World War II he could not return to his so-called "liberated country" and settled in the UK. His name was Henryk Strzelecki - a true hero of his country. I enjoy your videos btw

One of these tourists, John “Janusz” Nieduzak died in my hometown of Buffalo NY. in 2020 at age 100. He fought at Monte Cassino and was one of those who came into British service thru Syria.

I have never forgotten the Polish forces in WWII. We knew one of these brave men: he escaped a German POW camp, walked across Poland to the sea. Joined the Free Polish Army un the UK. Was at Monte Casino, then after DDay fought across Europe. After the war, His wife and son were warned to not go home as the Russians were coming to arrest them. They eventually arrived in London. I believe they're contribution made a very valuable contribution to winning the war. He and is family never went back.

My father was halfway through his compulsory military service in Poland when the nazis and then the russians invaded. He was evacuated first to Norway, then France, then England and then sent to Palestine. He fought in North Africa, and in Italy, marrying my Italian mother. For me, it is a shame that he did not live long enough to see his homeland regain its strength and freedom . On behalf of my father and all those he served beside, thank you Mark for this wonderful video presentation.

My grandparents where liberated by the brave Poles. Eternally grateful!

Mr Felton, we Poles are eternally grateful for what you're doing to give our warriors a worldwide recognition, as they fully deserve it. Also I would like to amend something in your video. 2nd Armored Cavalry Brigade wasn't actually a brigade, nor the Cavalry one, in fact it was 2nd PSK - 2 Pułk Strzelców Konnych- 2nd Mounted Rifles Regiment, which was the first one to be motorised in Polish Army before the outbreak of the war. Thank you and God bless you.

"Nie błagamy o wolność, my walczymy o wolność" - gen. Witold Urbanowicz "We don't beg for freedom, we fight for freedom" - gen. Witold Urbanowicz Love Poland from the Czech Republic 🇵🇱❤️🇨🇿

This is outstanding! The polish people are great! They are a warrior culture! I was in the us army in afghanistan and I served with many polish troops! This is outstanding!!! 🇵🇱!!!!!

My favorite Polish anecdote about WW2, is that a Polish destroyer signaled the Bismarck while she was under attack, saying "I am a Pol!"

Thank you Mister Felton. My Grandfather was a soldier in the polish Army and got a pov after getting captured in the battle of Modlin in the last days of September. My Grandmother was a Partisan in the woods north of Kielce and was a invalid after a fight with the occupants. A lot of my family died during the occupation. Thank you for keeping their spirit alive with your videos!

My great grandfather Zenobiusz served in the 3rd Carpathain Rifle Division in the British 8th Army, and fought in North Africa and Italy, including at the battle of Monte Cassino

I've never forgotten the Poles. They were magnificent in ww2. From Bzura to Narvik to Cassino and Falaise. I have a ww2 battle dress with Polish insignia. Obtained it from a fellow soldier, a Pole. His father served in the 3rd Carpathian.

My great grandfather was forced to serve in the Wehrmacht and when he was stationed near monte Casino he defected to Polish forces, he has some really cool photos later with his Polish buddies in Rome

My father fought throughout WW2, 4th Indian Div if memory serves. He never forgot the Poles. He was at Monte Cassino with them, he said he had never seen anything like it. They hated the Germans with a vengeance and were quite prepared to die. I remebering him saying to no one in particular, almost thinking out loud, something along the lines of "they continued assaulting German positions till they got them, when one fell another took his place. The Gurkhas were goind mad trying to protect them with Bren guns but they didn't seem to care. They were like machines".

My Dad was in the Anders army and fought in Monte Cassino before settling in England, and recently, General Sikorski has had a statue erected in the Newark Polish war cemetery!

Not forgotten by me. My ex wife had a Polish grandfather. When the Germans invaded Poland, the SS accused him and his brother for running messages for the allies (they weren't) . His brother was burnt to death in an oil barrel in front of him as a punishment. He was taken to a concentration camp with his mother and he and another man jumped and killed a German guard while on a work party. He then ended up In Yugoslavia fighting for the partisans. Finally he got to England and fought with the free Polish army at Monte Casino. The Polish commanders told them they may as well die at Monte Casino as Russia had invaded Poland and they had no country to go back to. Peter spent the rest of his life in England and died around 2005. Although I am no longer with his granddaughter, that man was my hero and a smashing guy too. Obviously he grew up with a hatred of all things German and Russian. The Poles were fearless and you only have to read the stories of them going up in spitfire's to try and shoot down Germans when British pilots would not fly in terrible weather.

As Pole, I thank You for the video. ❤ Polish soldiers fought on many fronts of WW2 but are often forgotten in Western popular history. Poland - First To Fight! 🛡🇵🇱 Jeszcze Polska nie zginęła! 👑🇵🇱

@Mark Felton - As myself being a Pole, I can not be more thankful for this remarkable episode! We need more discussions about Poland especially in modern, unprecedented times! 🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱

One think I enjoyed about being in Poland is learning about their history and how proud they are and how much they fought for their independence.

Never forgotten ! God bless Poland and all her people's. 👊💛👍

In addition to these contributions, a Polish officer invented the portable mine detector. A device used by the allied military in WWII. Good report, Mark.

I am so proud of the sacrifices, determination and gumption of the Polish people during WW2. Terribly underrated by many historians but, in truth, not forgotten. Long live Poland, their people and the memory of their sacrifices. 🇵🇱

My father had the honour to serve alongside them in Italy.

I have said this already, but my Great grandfather was a border guard during the invasion of Poland, after he went and fought for France, after France fell, he fought in the Polish second Corps in North Africa and in Italy, Monte Casino, after the war, he was persecuted in Poland by the UB. He fought in 3 wars, WW1 for the Polish legions, Polish Soviet war, and ww2. And my Great Uncle was in the 303 in the Battle of Britain

Thank you Dr Fulton, as a Pole I feel honoured by this video.

Thank you for an excellent tribute to our ally "Polska na zawsze!!"

Thank you for this. My father was a navigator in 300 Polish Bomber Squadron RAF, flying Wellingtons in 1941-3, having served in 1939 in reconnaissance in Poland, escaped via Romania, re-formed in France and escaped to Britain. In 1944 he was seconded to the US 9th Army Air Force flying B26 Marauders and later A26 Invaders. At the end of the War he stayed on with the RAF and became a British citizen. I am very proud of his medal collection from 4 different allied nations.

The Dutch city of Breda will never forget the Polish forces, having been liberated under leadership of Maczek. He tried to avoid damaging the city as much as possible while trying to liberate them.

Thank you for the recognition of these heroes dr. Felton. This is so important for us all to know the pain the polish people endured. Also - please make a video about Witold Pilecki. The greatest hero every lived - who volunteerd to go into Aushwitz and escaped! Absolutely madness!

Having worked in Poland for three years, it's a great country and I was told they view the Germans as the little bully and the Russians as the big bullies. They also did a lot to help crack the Enigma code, having smuggled a machine to the UK and helping to develop the 'Bomb' that they had started developing to de-cipher the Enigma code

Mine detector (Polish) Mark I (Polish: wykrywacz min) was a metal detector for landmines developed during World War II. Initial work on the design had started in Poland but after the invasion of Poland by the Germans in 1939, and then the Fall of France in mid-1940, it was not until the winter of 1941-1942 that work was completed by Polish lieutenant Józef Kosacki.[1][2]

I have never come across a Polish person who I have not gone on with. They are all super cool. Glad to have them in the UK. Likewise, Lithuanians, great people.

Thanks to Poland and those that served. May we never forget their sacrifices. Thanks Mark for reminding us of those who sacrificed and served.

I met an old polish man at a job I was on in Scotland in the 1990s (he was a digger driver) who had settled in Scotland after the war and he told me how he had walked from Poland to Palestine after fighting the Russians. Said they kept alive by hunting for game on the way. Also told me that he was a tank driver and was under his tank fixing it when it was hit and he was the only survivor.

I've visited the Wojtek the bear statue in Edinburgh a few times it's an interesting story. Plus a nice monument to the servicemen and women who served in the free polish forces.

I had heard of the the Free Polish forces, but did not know how extensively involved they were in the fighting in Europe. This was a very interesting and enlightening video.

Not so forgotten amongst elderly in the UK. In March 2003 (pre-EU accession of Poland) I went to Lancaster for students exchange revisit. Very first evening I was invited to dinner at my host’s neighbour, ex-RAF crewman and photographer during WW2. My ancestors were in resistance (home army) during WW2, but not in the Polish Army in the West. Despite that it was important to this man, to tell me how much he admired his Polish collegues and how much they contributed to local community after the war (e.g. one of his Polish collegues became or was archtiect, whom designed one of bridges in Lancaster).

The Poles were never forgotten where I grew up in Lincolnshire, in fact I went to school with several of their descendants whose Grandfathers had served alongside the British Army and in Polish Bomber Command Squadrons. These men stayed on in the UK after the war, married and had families. Their fanatical hatred of the Germans was legendary and my own Grandfather (who was unfit for military service but served in the NFS) got to know several of them when a Polish Fighter Squadron was based temporarily at a nearby airfield, he'd invite them over for tea sometimes and said they were always very cheerful and polite, but you only had to make the merest mention of the Germans and it was like a black cloud passed across their faces..

During the war my grandmother had a number of Polish officers billited in her house in Harthill in central Scotland. They correspondent with the officers until 1958 and then nothing. Always wondered what happened to these men, were they forbidden to write?, did they die? Free Polish Forces have never been forgotten in the Netherlands.

Battered from "pillar to post" And when the dust of war settles, They're still there. Amazing Poland.

Well said and timely . I grew up in the 70s and thanks to my father was always aware the Polish forces fought as lions .

Thanks for telling an often overlooked story. I knew the Polish were significantly involved, but I had no idea how much.

My father was in the Polish, French & British Armies in WW2. He was in signals. He was injured in the invasion of Sept 1939. When in hospital, he heard how captured Polish soldiers were being sent to Germany as slave labour. So he used the red cross to message a friend, who smuggled in civilian clothes to my dad. Dad escaped that nigh down the potato chute & had to run through freezing Krakow streets to his friends house. He crossed many guarded borders. One had snow waist deep. His guide said "even the wolves will stay in tonight". When he got to Yugoslavia, he was given a Royal Mail jacket with a ten shilling note pinned inside the pocket. British civilians had donated clothes to Polish escapees. He got a boat to France & joined the French Army. He was stationed at Versailles. When France was falling, his unit escaped West. His lorry was attacked by Stukas & the driver shot. No one else knew how to drive, but dad had some lessons, so the others told him to drive. He protested he did not have a licence & the others laughed "who is going to ask you for it?" He crashed the gears of that Peugeot truck, all the way to Le Verdun, where the last 4 British ships took the Poles to Liverpool. Dad was sent to Scotland. In Dundee he took down German messages for a group of Polish professors working on the enigma code. That was shut down, so he moved to Falkirk to train agents being dropped into Poland how to use radios. Once he was sent to london, where he was sent to an airfield & put in a Lysander. He sat on a box of dynamite all the way to France. They landed & hid the plane. He spent the day teaching Poles in the resistance how to use the radio & flew back that night. Because of his 1939 injury, he was not dropped into Poland. 30 of the guys he trained, were dropped into the Warsaw uprising. Only 2 survived the war.

One of my Grandfathers in WW2 was in the Cheshire regiment and fought from Tobruk all the way to Monte Cassino, I don't remember much that he told me about that time but I do remember his admiration for his Polish comrades.

Hoorah for the Galant Men of Poland! Thank you for your service and thank you Dr Felton for your tribute to Poland.

Interesting to see that shot of the Polish Airmen in uniform. Dc comics have a slightly forgotten character called Blackhawk. He was big in the forties and just gets mentioned occasionally now. A polish pilot who after the fall of Poland puts together a team of international flyers and calls them the Blackhawks. I'd never realised before just how close Blackhawk's costume was to the real uniform. He's worth a google.

The Polish destroyer Piorun attempted to punch above her weight against the Bismarck. Not sure if she scored any hits but the crew definitely put themselves out there in the effort.

Polish soldiers fought on many fronts of WW2 but are often forgotten in popular history. Jeszcze Polska nie zginęła! 👑🇵🇱 As Pole, I thank You very much for the video. ❤

Thank you Dr. Felton for your excellent coverage of history others don't mention or suppress! The people of Poland deserve to have their story told and remembered; they fought and died from the first hour of the war until the last to defeat a maniac bent on enslaving and exterminating them.

Thank you Dr Felton ! Jeszcze Polska nie zginęła !

Thank you for this video - and you're right, we poles didn't have much to return to. My great grandfather fought in 39 as an infantryman. The worst part for him was going from the Frontlines of ww2 to being a fugitive after the war in his own country and seeing Russian propaganda being presented to the next generation. My grandmother still recalls how she got into an argument with her dad, saying that the Russians saved Poland from the Germans, while my grandfather had to flee persecution after the war.

The Polish deserved so much more respect.

A tip for future is to look in to Polish paratroopers called “Cichocemni” they were basically trained the same SAS is now and Polish special forces GROM are inspired from them. It’s an awesome story

I didn't really know to much about the Polish army in WWII thank you. The air force was quite revered though. And can't forget the little destroyer charging the Bismark that's pretty legendary.

Dr Felton, thank you for the videos you’ve made about Polish soldiers in the Allied armies. Let’s hope they get the recognition they deserve.

My great uncle fought in montecassino and North Africa thank you for covering this

Most of my family was exiled to Siberia, my great grandfather was a Polish officer. He was later found in a mass grave in Russia. My great grandmother and her children survived a work camp in Siberia. My great uncle did an interview about the events.

Thank you Dr F for the generosity you've shown the Polish forces in this episode.

As Pole, I thank You cery much for the video. ❤ They fought on North African, Italian and Western front, just to witness their country being overrun by the Soviets at the end. Many did not see free Poland, dying before 1989. 😔

The Poles always tend to get the short end of the stick in European affairs, yet they still stand. A testament to a truly resilient people

Videos like this also help provide context to the current situation on the Poland-Belarus border. The Poles are determined to never let the Russians, or their proxies, on their soil again. And this time they have the weapons to do so.

Dr Felton. I bow low in gratitude for dedicating another episode to Polish soldiers. Their sacrifice, honor and fight against a common enemy. Respect from viewers from Poland.

Impeccable research, incredibly informative and most importantly, a fitting tribute to those oft overlooked, Polish, men and women. Thank you Mark.

My mother and her sister were among the civilians,orphans of the regiment,who went to Persia and eventually ended up in a refugee in India.My father was rotating home from the CBI and of Polish ancestry and ended getting both of them to the USA. I also had an uncle who was able to join Anders army and fight at Monte Cassino after being released from a Soviet labor camp.All became US citizens and proud Americans.

My sister in laws Dad Frank was at Arnhem with the free Polish and ended up in a German POW camp. After the war he settled n the UK in Etwall, Derbyshire and married my sisters mum. He died a few years back and lies in the local churchyard. May he rest in peace forever in the land he helped keep free.

Glad you put this video out, so many people forget the amount of sacrifice the the Polish forces endured and how hard they fought to stay free from oppression, it’s absolutely shocking how we deserted them after the war and let them be occupied by another oppressor after Germany was defeated.

Thank you for the recognition of my country. Poland was so butually effected by the war that every single Pole today is a decendant of the greatest genocide that ever existed. (that hadn't migrated prior to the war). It's not like in the west where you may have had family serving in a war abroad. Everyone was effected in Poland regardless of gender or age etc

We Poles suffered a lot through the years between 1937 (start of 'Polish operation' of NKVD) to 1956 (end of stalinism in Poland), especially during WW2. Yet we continued to fight through it all. I'm proud of my ancestors that help to liberate Italy, France and Netherlands. 👑🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱

My Grandfather escaped German forces , then managed to join allied forces (polish ) and ended up in Italy near Cassino. We've only just started to delve into his war records... And so far it's rather interesting!

Wow! I had no idea of the huge number of Poles who managed to get to the west or near east to continue their fight against Germany. I knew of the pilots and their foundational work on the Enigma machine, but am blown away to learn that there were 250,000 Poles fighting on.

In the late 1960s and early 70's making demeaning jokes about the Polish was a wide spread thing. After reading about their history of how the Polish Winged Hussars saved Vienna and Europe from the Ottoman army, and the events covered here by Mr. Felton, made me angry how ignorant those who made those racist jokes of a nation that suffered so much, fought heroically, but were betrayed by the Allies to the USSR.

Mark, you can be guaranteed that when it comes to Poland and the war, they have a lot to say.

I have great admiration for the Poles. Thoroughly enjoyed a recent trip to Poland.

My Mother lived in the outskirts of the Hague. She told me that her area was liberated by Poles under Canadian Command

Could not have clicked that notification quicker still my hero Dr.Felton I thank you for all your hard work and dedication good sir.

As unconditionally PROUD of my heros countrymen for EVERY bit of their fight, the older I grow the stronger is the feeling that it WAS NOT a greatest idea to "give away" the blood of our Nation in this way… WE FIGHT for generations, that we know, it is "in our blood"… but our "elites" often lack of political sense and TOO MANY times we were taken advantage of, "shooting the enemy with diamonds", giving away our national substance for what? To be put aside and forgotten. PS. My late grandfather (1914-2014), 2nd Lieutenant of infantry, captured by the Soviets in September 1939, managed to escape during the railroad transport from Shepetovka camp to Kozielsk camp (from Kozielsk they were ALL sent to Katyn). Others from my family fought on Westerplatte (1st KIA there, and maybe in the whole war, was my great-grandmother sister's son), others were in Anders 2nd Corps, some in the "popular" Polish Army along USSR too. I will NEVER underestimate that, NEVER, and A LOT of Polish families are just like that. But sometimes I just wish my country was clever enough to say "we pass"…

I just watched A Bridge Too Far and Gene Hackman played the Polish general who deals with High Command’s belittling comments and slights in almost every scene. We need more stories on this brave contribution to the effort.

Yet again, highlighting those little gem's in history. Those key, almost forgotten, points in history that general history overlooks. Great piece.

Mr Felton, this is a superb piece of work. You are to be congratulated for your efforts. Thank you ever so much.

Never forgotten by those who study military history.

I'm glad you mentioned that exiled situation the Poles faced after the war. Great day to you and your family! God bless

I want to thank Dr. Felton for taking the time out and making the past couple of videos regarding the Polish contribution to WWII. The little candles that he ignited regarding these topics burn bright and intensely bringing knowledge to people that were not given their proper due after wars end and the decades after. Thank you Dr. Felton, I will always be grateful to you and all the work you have done regarding this topic.

In the 1977 movie...., "A Bridge Too Far,' Gene Hackman portrayed Major General Stanislaw Sosabowski of the 1st Independent Parachute Brigade. This film was about, "Operation Market Garden," and was a BIG DAMN deal in terms of star power for 1977. The film stars the likes of such actors as Michael Caine, Sean Connery, Anthony Hopkins, Robert Redford, James Caan, Ryan O'Neal, Elliott Gould, and Laurence Olivier....just to name a few. Gene Hackman was at the TOP of his star power at this time being in such films as, "Bonnie & Clyde 1967," "The French Connection 1971,'" "The Poseidon Adventure 1974," "The Conversation, 1974," and the French Connection II 1975.....again....just to name a few. Now...I realize that Hollywood is NOT in the business of making historically accurate war films.....BUT.....I think they presented the Poles in a good light in the film by using a talented and recognizable star.

You mention how a polish unit was pushed into Switzerland and interned for the duration of the war. I’d love to hear more about the experience of allied personnel interned in Switzerland and Sweden. Not much known about this

The Poles deserve more love, as they got thoroughly shafted. But the contributions of the Free Polish armies are remembered wherever they fought. You are not forgotten! We love you guys! Justice for Maczek and Sosabowski! I would argue though that the contributions of the Indians is more forgotten though, if only because they did not fought in Western Europe, only the Middle East, Italy and Greece. 3 Indian divisions fought in Italy and Greece. Many more fought in the Middle East and in Burma. They were the biggest volunteer army in history.

Thank you Mark for remembering our sacrifice. Sadly, there was no happy ending for Poles after the war.
