Polish pilots fought with the Armée de l'Air in 1940 (some became aces)
then, with the RAF.
So did Czech pilots.

IIRC there were 2 Belgian RAF squadrons, several ground-units & a lot
of merchant ships in service of the British.

...
Did someone said they stood a chance against the germans in 1939 ?
They did what they had to which is not that bad.
What about Belgium, Netherlands ?

RAF Squadron No. 303 was manned by Poles. It ended the Battle of
Britain with 126 victories, the highest of any RAF squadron.

People also forget the backstab by the Soviet Union. The Poles were
holding their own against the Blitzkrieg, despite losing ground (but did
they ever make the Germans pay for that ground), until the Red Army came
across the eastern border.

Shouldn't we make that a double? As I recall, in '44 (or was it '45)
the Russians halted their advance just outside Warsaw to give the
Germans time to wipe out the Poles. They knew these were the very
Poles that would cause trouble later on when they occupied Poland
themselves, and would just as soon see them all dead.

True dat, but I was confining my remarks to the initial invasion in
1939.
