What British unit liberated Poland in 1945?? [445]
Please get your lies straight Magda. Poles were invited to the Victory Parade, both 'Free' Poles and the government of Poland. Neither bothered to send any representatives. But Poles have lied about not being invited ever since. You're pathetic.
I see, Hellen, that you check every single of my words. Good. :-) The only invitation was sent to few surviving representatives of 303 squadron.
Your reality is clearly based on lies.
1. Lie: you fought for Poland. And then didn't pay the bill for all that you had used.
Unfortunately there was no Poland at this time. There was only burning London behind their back.
2. If you'd planned the Uprising better, you might have liberated enough area to have paracutes dropped into.
Re-think it again, Hellen.
3. Lie: your generals were welcome to return to Poland and claim their pension. Why should Polish generals who've paid nothing into the UK pension pot get British pensions? Oh, sorry, I forgot how Poles view the British benefits system. These days a Polish who has paid nothing into the UK benefits pot can claim from the system and that's how you think it should have been in 1945.
Polish Generals were welcomed to return to Poland, then being imprisoned and executed. Some of them actually took this route. And what they "paid into the UK system"? They paid with their blood and death of their friends and families. I see, Hellen, that gratitude is strange concept for you. ;-)
4. Lie. The military attache of the Polish embassy attended. You should have had more representation at the parade but that would have involved not dramatically rejecting your invites (and not being able to lie about it for years afterwards), so I can see why you didn't.
Yeap. An I am sure that some "Jasio Kowalski" was in London at the time. So what?
No Polish unit was invited to celebrate victory. Representatives of 303 sq. are not the unit.
5. What should they have done? Tried to bomb it? What did the Polish armed forces do to stop the camp? Nothing, not even try to sabotage the rail links.
To bomb it "w trzy dupy" (forgive my French) would be good idea. I am sure that people down there would be grateful for quick death.
As for your second question:
6. Lie. Some of your gold disappeared while in French custody. The gold entrusted to Britain was returned to Poland less what Poland agreed to pay for its forces and their upkeep.
The first document I linked in this thread is official "agreement" from archives. I trust this document more than your opinion.
Yet more lies. The British Free Corps was not purely British and they could not have been busy liberating Poland because they never saw any action at all and they never even went to Poland!
Well... If there was any British soldier liberating Poland in 1945 - most probably that he was a member of this merry SS gang. This is the best answer for the title question.
I'm sure that there are thousands more Poles who were in the SS and like Sawoniuk slipped under the radar but unlike Sawoniuk had no reason to be hunted down. We know that more than a third of the Polish forces in the west were previously in the German armed forces: the idea that none of them were SS is laughable!
This is a good feeling to be sure about something, isn't it? And you laugh so easily. Surely you have got access to some not-yet-known historical facts, maybe even documents. Will you share this with us?
Or maybe - it's just your imagination.
Well, Hellen?
