An interesting article here about the Cichociemni who trained in England during the war.
As usual the telegraph article is much better quality

"2,613 Poles volunteered for special operations during the war, with 606 of them getting through the rigorous training course. 316 were later dropped into occupied Poland; the majority of them trained at Audley End.
These incredibly brave personnel were at the forefront of Polish resistance. Many became important staff officers in the AK, taking part in widespread partisan operations culminating in uprisings in Wilno, Lviv and Warsaw. 103 were killed in action or murdered by the Gestapo, and a further nine were executed by the Communists after the war.
Britain, Poland, Ukraine. Then, as now, an incommunicable bond was sparked by conflict"
