  • My good friend, an RNZAF Squadron Leader now late, said of Polish pilots "'They were simply the best fighter pilots of the war."

    They fought gallantly, skilfully and with great bravery. While flying the Hawker Hurricane, though technically inferior to the Bf 109E4, Polish pilots still managed to get the better of them and inflicted significant losses and damage.

    Flying the Spitfire Mk 1 and 2, the Poles were simply devastating. The Nazi had no answer whatsoever.

    Great men - great fighters!

  • Parafrazując słowa Churchilla .

    Można powiedzieć o losie Polski po

    II wojnie:

    Nigdy wcześniej tak wielu, nie zrobiło tak wiele, za tak niewiele.

  • @MrMaverick1971 Nie pisz bzdur. Nie każdemu było dane uciec na zachód. Inny komfort, kiedy na miejscu byli zagrożeni kaźniami UB po wojnie, niż być w innym kraju i pieprzyć o honorze.

  • @jrobertsoneff good point, there would be more white brits of polish,irish and other euro heritages!!! what do you think about multi cultural britain? not a fan!!

  • @goldyn12345 I blame the shit tory s for wanting to put acap on east european workers .\especialy awfter we sold them down the river in 45 .If we had had more european migrants in the post war period we would not have the racial and religious problems we have now.

  • @jrobertsoneff dont blame the recent wave of polish immigrants to this country on the poles, blame this shit labour government!! though i do see your point, there should have been a cap of say 100,000 or something!!
