liked the line about Pulaskis name being easier to pronounce. the forestry service uses an axe with a grub hoe blade on the back of the axe head for fighting forest fires. It has the same name, so is it a pole axe. Poland had the worlds finest Calvary ar the start of world war 2, in spite of the best of horses and very high courage they did not do very well against tanks. The air force got wiped out almost as fast because they had inferior planes to the Germans. The poles came to Canada and trained to fly the newer planes. spitfires and hurricanes, they were the only people at that time with battle experience. the finlanders and Ukrainians came later. this training was done in the prairie provinces, Manitoba,Saskatchewan and Alberta. one Polish squadron was in Ontario at a place called Bracebridge.(Beaver Creek actually, it is now a prison but the air strip is still there) After the war the officers in the Polish army fighting along with the Soviet army were rounded up and shot, there is a mass grave at a place called Katrine(sounds like Catherine with the th hard) nobody is sure how many bodies are there, at least ten thousand. some of my cousins are Polacks(in laws) and one cousin lives in Poland with her husband now. but that is OK, my relatives get together and it is more diverse than the U.N. and most of our ancestors at one time or another gave a good try at wiping each other out.sorry if I bored you, I did not mean to write this long. is it an answer to your question?

I think they get a bad rap with the polish jokes. Just because they tried to defend themselves from the Nazi tanks with their cavalry doesn't mean they're stupid. That's all they had at the time and it was very noble and brave of their soldiers to try and do what they could to defend their homeland.
