History / Poles and (Polish) Jews... Victims of war... and beyond [380]
Just a question Jola, 1982 the official polish nation was still firmly the enemy. The cold war and all that...
What did the communist polish government say to one of it's citizens flying for the "enemy"?
I have a hard time believing that if I'm honest.
On the other hand I can also hardly believe that such a controlled unit like the military of the US opened it's door for polish, russian, east-german or whatever eastern bloc nationals, their enemies after all.
Tell me more about it please...I've never heard of that...
The same question to you too Marek...
(All rules changed after '89 and the demise of the eastern bloc)
PS: I know that serving in the US-army is a way to earn your US-passport. But that would mean that you were already immigrated into the US with the plan to become an USian.
You weren't in the US army as a polish citzen under the polish communist government as it seemed implied here...
