News / What did Poland get out of the wars and struggles for others? [1108]
An official invitation was sent to the Government in Warsaw. Unfortunately, the British had not noticed, until it was too late, that the Warsaw government had not been Britain's wartime ally.
Shortly after VE-Day the Government in Exile lost its recognition (representation of Poland) by Britain.
A last minute invitation was extended but that invitation was declined.
IMO rightly declined...
This is another example of how Stalin outmaneuvered both Churchill and Roosevelt. The latter doing all he could to undercut his British counterpart up until the day he died.
Here are some examples of lies:
"Poles were not invited to the London Victory Parade."
