History / Polish resettlement camps in Britain 1945 [82]


to make it clear:

2,944 pilots took part in the historic Battle of Britain, of whom 497 lost their lives. Amongst them there were 145 Polish pilots, of whom 32 were killed. The RAF and allied pilots shot down 1,733 German aircraft and the Luftwaffe shot down 915 British fighters. 203 German aircraft were shot by the Polish pilots. In September, during the highest intensity of German attacks, 13% of Polish pilots in frontline squadrons were Poles, and in October, because of the RAF loses, the proportion went up to 20%.

According to Air Chief Marshall Hugh Dowding, AOC Fighter Command of RAF: "(...) all (Polish) squadrons swung into the fight with a dash and enthusiasm which is beyond praise. (...) The first Polish squadron (303) (...) during the course of one month shot down more Germans than any other British unit in the same period. Other Poles (...) were used (...) in British squadrons, but (...) they were probably most efficient employed in their own national units."

Maybe vichy gov in france is a good example, or gov in cheuchenia established by russians.


I m not british and I m not american I dont care about WTC, bombs in London undregroud and war agains terrorists.

And maybe one very interesting fact. After the war there was Victory Parade in London, all alies were represented, British forbiden to take part in it for Poles to not disturb Russians ... we were awkward ally in this moment.

And durring Battle of Brittan when Poles were about 20% of fighter pilots in RAF and they were simply the best they were heros ...

You can writte what ever you want, for me you were simply traitors (this time).

In some way I undestand that you were exhausted ... but small things like parade or that Poles were holded in worst conditions (after the war) than German POWs.

Life / Why do poles drink & drive? [82]

Alkoholics are alcoholiks, Polish drink in parks Englsh (gues) drink and cry at home ... it is long story

but I think we drink different way, I will take myself as an example ;)

I dont drink like Italians everyday wine to dinner, or like Germans or English Beer to diner.

But some times when I go with friends to drink alcohol I can drink about 0,5 - 0,7 L of vodka during night. And it can look like I drink like the fish, but I dont drink this way every weekend ... ;)))

Life / Why do poles drink & drive? [82]


I think that there is culture difference in drinking % betwen Poland and other countries.

I dont think we have more alkoholics than other coutries, but our alkokolics drink "out side", they go and sit in park and drink all day p i s s on the tree and they dont care about anything , they do the same in Poland they do the same in foregin countries. Stats show that we are rather at the bottom of alkohol ligue ;) but this small group of people who prefere to drink "out side" work very hard on our reputation ...

Life / Why do poles drink & drive? [82]

according to stats we drink less alcohol than USA citizens and Europeans at all.

I think that on emigration probably in smoe cases they can drink more than at home ...

Drink&Drive is forbiden in Poland as well. When Police catch you "drink and driving" you go to the cort get suspended sentence (if it is first time), lost driving licence (100% sure) and last time lost car. So our law isnt tolerant in this case.

News / Polish Election Poll (according to PolishForums) [237]

I m Pole I live in Poland (not in USA) and I vote on PO

History / Polish resettlement camps in Britain 1945 [82]



Thats why I think we should leave Iraq and Afganistan ...

when we will be in troubles we will be again stupid Poles, "Polish fasist" ...

this is nice example

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish_death_camp

Americans will make movie in which Poles will be guards in prison in Iraq tortruring Iraqis people ... and our soldiers will be drunk traitors (as in brits movie about enigma) ...

I m not going to bid who did what in WWII, I know the truth and when I see our "alies" opinions I know we do the same mistake again ...

And to Poles (not to americans with Polish origin) on this forum, do you see what I see, really I think that we should develope our country, take money Germans give us, and just dont care about things like WTC or bombs in London underground. It isnt our problem.

History / Polish resettlement camps in Britain 1945 [82]


It was RED ARMY in our country, which atacked us in '39 together with Hitlers germany, and murdered our citizens (katyń) occupied half of our country to '41 , and UK and USA sold Poland in Yalta '45 for the same murders ... and Katyń was well known this time ...

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yalta_Conference

. It is old story, and I dont thik that UK citizens should start to argue about it again.

As to Enigma without Poles who gave for English know-how in this case, you wouldnt breake new versions of Enigma.

I agree you were exhausted, but you should notice we were under soviet occupation to '89 and now UK/France citizens when we talk about EU funds starts to talk about ungrateful Poles, "what do they want ... " "they are in EU they should be quiet" "they live in the past"

crow my Serb slavic friend I think that slav union is issue for next subiect on this forum

but I have to agree Hungarians are German card in their poker

News / Poland threatens to reject EU treaty [72]

to stick to the subject

Poland threatens to reject EU treaty

I feel that more than half of EU citizens count on Poland smashing this project, because only crazy Poles can do it ;))

Why I think so :) It is enought to see why EU leaders are so affraid to do referendum about this treaty in their countries. I would like to see out put of new referendum in Holand, UK, France ... there will be no chance for this treaty ;)))

In my opinion EU leaders should notice that final of this negotiations is just 3 days beffore our elections, If they really want this constitution they should make some commisons ;) all in all we want commisions in cases the most EU citizens wants to have. And who cares that we are going to weak German position ;) to be honest I dont belive that EU citizens want to be leaded by this nation, just because they are the bigest.

as to salvic union without russians

we did in the past

News / Poland threatens to reject EU treaty [72]


Oh yes UK is one of the most pro-EU countries :) why your gov doesnt want to make referedum about EU constitution ? and we will see voting in your parlament ...

I have to surprise you, after negotiations we will agree to sign this constitutuon, and we will see what brits will do :))) I know you count on Poland smashing this treaty but it will not happen :)

News / Poland threatens to reject EU treaty [72]

Oh come on :) ask sb in Poland about slavic union :)))) to be serious

It is project like united Serbs and Croats or union of Israel and Iran union of Poland and Russia is the same crap.

News / Is the E.U. good for Poland?? [180]

I want to notice that after our join to EU we became more reliable partner for foregin companies, so they decided to open ther factories, research centers, offices here.

It is advatage as well


now reality isnt nice, it is enought to look on EU support in case of embargo on our products in Russia. All in all now EU should take care about that and they make pressure on Poland to be more submissive. I just wonder what would happen if USA would make embargo only on France wine and start promote Romanian wine in USA ...

Idea of EU is grate, but I dont want EU domitated by one or two countries ...

I m optimistic and I think that it will be succesful project.

As to details I dont think EU parlament should decide how should potato look or what is the size of proper cucamber ;)

so less bureaucracy, more solidarity

News / Poland threatens to reject EU treaty [72]

(it is a litle bit of topic)


I have to agree that at the begining of NATO intervention, there was enormous propaganda, about serb monsters killing albanians... And the truth was much different, we all know that all world Powers have their pupils there, and world wanted to beat Russian ally ... In my opinion your situation isnt good, you are surounded by EU countries and you are Russian friend ... your neighbours hate you ... You have to find some friends in EU to present your point of view.

and I dont think this country is Poland it is just general idea.

News / Poland threatens to reject EU treaty [72]


hools => hooligans => football fanatics

News / Is the E.U. good for Poland?? [180]

For me as a Pole EU is grate oportunity for my country, and it is in Poland business Economicaly and Politicaly.

In my opinion we dont need Europe leaded by one strong country (germany) but more democratic. And maybe with biger role of national parlaments than some nations are trying to do. All in all EU is good project, and it is chance of European countries to be world player and equal partner for USA, China, Russia ...

News / Poland threatens to reject EU treaty [72]


Ok my Serb friend, maybe I dont agree with you lets say in some points ;)

but go watch game Serbia-Poland (even our hools dont like each other) and you will notice big flag on Polsh sector, there will be writen on it in serb language, sth about our support FOR SERBS IN KOSOVO.

The enigma machine, is good example.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enigma_machine

Our mathematicians broken its code and it shorten war by 2-3 years (maybe changed result of the war) and after the war I think in '60 - '70 brits made movie about it ... in this movie brits did everything and there was one Pole - drunken traitor ...

I just dont understand brits or americans coming here and reminding us how did they sold us during WWII. I dont know if it is good idea.

History / Polish resettlement camps in Britain 1945 [82]


Yes it is bitter. Because now we are good alies again, and when we will be in troubles again. In USA or in UK you will show some spots about Radio Maryja or anti-semits and call us "Polish fasists" when it is anbout 1-5 % of our society. And we will be alone again. And I m sure about that, so I dont see the reason why Poland should be with USA in Iraq or Afganistan.

History / Polish resettlement camps in Britain 1945 [82]


not all Poles, this forum in some way doesnt stick to Polish reality, It is full of Americans with Polish origin supporting parties like LPR (1-4 % of support in Poland) and after reading this forum you may think that it is really strong party ... or this questions about condoms and religion :) You really should come to Poland and see what Polish reality is :) ...

Or this all subjects about White/Black/Arab, it isnt part of public debate in Poland, and here it is discussed as one of the most important issues. (Polish americans again)


yes it is.

History / Polish resettlement camps in Britain 1945 [82]

It is so bitter...

I just think why we are with our "alies" in Iraq or Afganistan ...
