Should I be proud of what my Polish fellows did during WW2?

Question

Btw,my 2 grandfathers had fought in WW2.

Answer 1

many polish pilots took part in the battle of britain. polish paratroopers took part in the battle of arnhem and polish soldiers fought in normandie. you should be proud of that.

Answer 2

My aunt is a professor and has done lots of research on this.
While the Poles were not as well equipped as the Germans (nobody was at the start) it is a myth that they were using horses for anything other than supply wagons. They had many tanks (smaller and lighter but still deadly) and many fighter airplanes.
The Polish gave the Germans months of stiff fighting and costs the Germans many thousands of soldiers. Then the Polish resistence continued to harrass them throughout the war.
God bless Poland!!! (Can you tell I"m part Polish?)

Answer 3

You most certainly should and the first thing you must do here in London is visit the Polish War Memorial and pay your respects to the thousands of Poles who joined the Allies and played a major role in defeating the Nazis.


The Polish War Memorial is situated adjacent to the roundabout on the A40 at its junction with the A4180, just on the London side of Northolt Aerodrome. ...

BATTLE OF BRITAIN 1940 - POLISH SQUADRON RAF

The Battle of Britain - Home PageNo 303 (Polish) Squadron Diary - September 1940 ... insight into the highs (and lows) of squadron life from the very earliest days of the Royal Air Force. ...

When the Polish Squadron Royal Air Force were sent up on their first sorte during the Battle of Britain, they shot down sixteen [16] enemy aircraft. A stunning record which was never beaten, ever.

WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.

Answer 4

I would be proud of the Polish troops that fought on the side of the Allies. They showed remarkable courage and tenacity in every engagement they were involved in.
I have always considered the Polish soldiers in WWII, from the Calvary charges against the German armor in the German invasion of Poland in '39' to the taking of Monte Casino, the definition of undaunted courage in the face of impossible odds.

Answer 5

Yes you should.Although it was Britain that came to help out in the first place.
over 300,000 Polls escaped over the border to carry on the fight with the Germans
The most famous group of Polls that I know where the Kosciuszko Squadron 303 based in Northolt and where responsible for looking after London. half of the pilots ended up as top aces, they destroyed more enemy planes than any other RAF squadron and had the least amount of casualties.
one or two of them even carried on to fight the Japs with the flying Tigers.

Another famous battle that's not widely known is that the Polls took Casino, you wouldn't know it if you watch the films that come out of Hollywood.
Even the Polish navy managed to escape to join the allies. alot of the intelligence and code breaking was also done by the Polls.
The reason why a lot of the Polls battles are muted is because of the problems with that satanic dictator Stalin and that idiot Roosevelt in fear of offending Stalin by mentioning Poland a country he had intentions of taking for himself.
I can go on in detail but , I will leave it for now I would just end up ranting.
~My grandfather was one of the Polls who managed to get to England from Dunkirk after fighting in Poland and France then moved on to Africa, Italy and Germany.
He didn't go back to Poland as the Germans had already killed his entire family.

Answer 7

YES! You should be very proud of your Polish brothers who fought alongside us against the nazis;I believe a lot of Polish came to Scotland and settled here just before and after the war,and have been made very welcome

Jimbo; GreatBritain warned Hitler just before the war started that we the British would stand by and help defend /go to war if Germany invaded Poland .there has always been a great friendship between GB and Poland. but Hitler thought we were bluffing .the Bastard found out we wer'nt bluffing

Answer 8

OF COURSE!! I'm only the 3rd generation from Poland in the US. At first they got their a*ses kicked!! But they then broke off into separate guerrilla groups. And they were all over the place. England, France and even Germany. They are responsible for a lot of sabotaging of things like supply depots and main roads, air fields, etc. So you should be very proud.

Answer 9

Were they part of the Magnificent Seven back in world war two?
If they was.
Should be proud of them
For the gifts of life with the Liberation of Freedom for the good of mankind from after world war two.

Answer 10

You sure should.The Polish resistance took them on and caused a lot of disruption.It took guts to know their own civilians
wold be used for reprisals.The RAF had Polish pilots but being
old school English didn't use them until late.Thanks to them and
other foreign pilots in the RAF we downed Germany's air force
putting off the invasion from Calais.Winston Churchill said about
all the pilots.Never in the field of conflict have so many owed so
much to so few.Your lot we're among them few.

Answer 11

I think it is natural to respect the sacrifices made by our grandparents in an effort to defend themselves.
My Uncle was Polish and came here after the war,he was in hospital and met my Aunt who was a nurse and they lived happily ever after......
Remember all the nice food we used to eat when we used to visit them,happy days.
