I read somewhere that most spitfire pilots in the battle of Britain were polish, hence the polish war memorial along the A40

 

They weren't majority but had highest kill rate

Fuelled by hatred of nazis they got in real close

I believe had their guns focussed at 100 yards not normal 400

At 100 yards they just saw a plane to pieces

 

It was poles who held the ridge at falaise gap In normandy

Meant germans had to funnel through narrow gap where they got slaughtered

You could smell bodies at 10,000 feet

Chopped into dog meat by typhoons etc

 

It was also poles who cracked enigma

Polish insurance actuary

Smuggled out through norway

Then finally sorted by turing etc

 

Make good sausages too
