"Yann D" wrote in message ...
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 ? 1939 Germany invades poland in less than a month almost without casualties, polish soldiers died 100000 1944 Polish resistance *ROTFL* smashed from Wermacht during Warsaw uprising. German casualties 5000 polish casualtie 60000 Polish glorious and strong armed forces *ROTFL* |

became aces) then, with the RAF. So did Czech pilots. RAF Squadron No. 303 was manned by Poles. It ended the Battle of Britain with 126 victories, the highest of any RAF squadron. Ed |

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. -Marc -- Marc Reeve actual email address after removal of 4s & spaces is c4m4r4a4m4a4n a4t c4r4u4z4i4o d4o4t c4o4m |
