I wonder how you would make out fighting a modern equipped army with
antiquated weapons and half starved as was the case in 1944. A horse back
cavalry is no match for a tank! The Poles, more than held their own during
the Battle of Britain and later with ground forces in Europe along with
the
other Allied armies. Records should be set strait in this regard.



The Poles were extraordinarily brave soldiers, when everyone
else had failed to take Monte Cassino it was the poles who
finally did the job at a terrible price, they left 1100 dead
and 3000 wounded on the mountainside.

As one of the Canadian soldiers who witnessed the attack
said, "for us it was just another attack, to the Poles it was
personal"
