Last Polish Pilot from the Battle of Britain laid to rest in Warsaw.
« on: December 05, 2011, 08:01:18 AM »
Tadeusz Sawicz was laid to rest on November 30th in Warsaw.

I know that Kazan posted this back in May.  But I thought I would also add this to share with those who have not heard the epic story of the Polish pilots who fought during the Battle of Britain.  The link below is from the BBC series "Bloody Foreigners" that aired in 2010.  This is the uncut version.  (Warning.....long documentary but worth watching)
