Polish Valor
« on: July 11, 2015, 04:35:53 PM »
  I have heard and seen the snips at Polish forces....
  Any that would doubt their valor,  or that of the French, who so valiantly carried the fight to the germans...you have earned my contempt. Make yourselves scare, I name you, my enemies.

Poland and French freedom fighters were heroic during WWII.  The repercussions of their capture did not deter them from fighting their enemy.

I will honor always both.  And don't forget the Philipinos and the Turks........and others I may have missed.  Great heroic people.

From what I've been reading lately, the French fought very well in North Africa immediately following operation Torch.  The French infantry were willing to fight, but hamstrung by poor leadership resulting in them being terribly under supplied, and badly led.  It is unfortunate that they get a bad rep now days.

So these three pow's escape from a stalag and head off into the woods.
Theres an American farmboy, a British Aristocrat, and a Pole.
Soon the prison camp dogs are after the escapees.
The farmboy comes up with an idea to help them avoid recapture.
"Climb a tree and when the dogs come for you, sound like an animal" says the farmboy.
Up into the trees the three men climb.
Soon the dogs come to the farmboys tree, "whoooo whoooo whoooooo", he sounds off.
The dogs leave the supposed owl to its own.
At the tree of the aristocrat they hear the whistle of a whipporwill.
Once again the dogs leave satisfied that there isnt anything in the trees but birds.
They come to the polllacks tree, the man thinks for a moment and offers,





Moooo.

I have a small library on the subject of the Polish Forces during WW2.  If you want to read a good book on the overall history of Poland during the war, I would suggest starting with "The Eagle Unbowed."  It's a very long read, but filled with a lot of historical data.
