Is There A Polish Foreign Legion?

Is There a Polish Foreign Legion?

no and never been and only polish citizen are allowed to serve in polish army

Ah, you're not getting mixed up with either Piłsudski's Legions or the fact there are quite a few Poles in the French Foreign Legion? OR that sometimes writers might refer to Napoleon's Polish regiments as 'Polish legions'.

Yes, it's called 'Polonia'.

Yes in France !

Hey guys, what's your comments about a foreign legion for Poland?
I think it would been a great idea

Hmmm, not sure. The old method of teaching French in the French FL is/was to hit the guy who didn't understand until he learned it. I think most foreigners wouldbe beaten to death using that method to teach Polish.

what for?
French don't like to fight and have plenty of oportunites to earn money!
Polish legion would be full of Poles, so whats the point?

Why? We have great soldiers, resourcefull, brave and well trained why would you invite people with murky past to do our job when we can do it so much better?

France has an excess of money and a sentiment towards the colonial past, not to mention French people dont relish the idea of war of dying for a good 100 years now so in France why not, in Poland? Never.

ther were alot of american polish volunteers during world war 2. iam thinking there would be alot now also

The very idea of foreigners wanting to fight for Poland!! But your right.. probably nobody join it anyway /sigh

it has nothing to do with france. the people that joined the french foreign legion were usually people that were trying to avoid punishments in their own country(start a new life) our had ties that they perceived strong to france. so ill ask again is there a facet of the polish army that allows foreigners of polish desent to join. seeing how there are plenty of threats and always have been unlike sheltered overated scandanavians who still live off the notoriety of the vikings and have done little to nothing since(other than the danish)

how many foreigners fought for norway during world war II? Probably none since germany had oslo by lunchtime and the whole of norway in like three days. we will just say there wasnt enough time for them to enlist.that was the reason. maybe the blood does run thick and the norweigan foreigners were pascifists too.

A few years ago there was talk in Poland of setting up something like a foreign legion.

Ty Polonius3

yar i shall

Except invade Poland.

Don't learn him real true history! Shh are you out of your mind?

If there is a foreign legion , can you get me one of those little caps with a flap on the back....i have always wanted one...?

I have a medal for exceptional duty performance from GROM (thunderbolt), a Polish special forces unit. In fact, I have two medals and a cap.

This is your lucky day. This pre-war Polish soldier's kepi is even adapted for riding.

What regiment is this guy in then....?

OOps, sorry!

Yeah, forget what I said. The Poles actually fooled the Swedes into going home by putting signs up telling them there was football match on TV (then the Poles went to drink some more warka).

He is serving in the Liga Morska i Kolonialna. Here are more troops:
The League was founded by a great man, general Mariusz Zaruski,
Murdered by the NKVD.

Where did this regiment operate then...? did Poland colonise Africa as most other nations did...?

English version

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mariusz_Zaruski

good boy


They tried, but some operations went down caused by lack of dollar$
It was an trade "union" or "deal" with Liberia making it de facto an protectorat, can't remember if it went into reality or not tho.

It tried to establish colonies or settlements abroad, but not in the traditional colonial sense. It was largely a failure. Some info here:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maritime_and_Colonial_League

Interesting history...i didn,t know anything about all this...Zaruski was certainly a great man and somebody the Polish nation should be proud of.....

He was indeed. Even in his NKVD mug shot his face still resonates pride and an indomitable posture. You see it in lots of these mug shots of Poles -they were beaten but not broken and I suppose these pictures were their last way of leaving that message for posterity.

For those interested, here's a link to a site showing Polish (and other) generals. I don't know why, but Zaruski doesn't show up in the list.
