Genealogy / Information on how/where to search to find out my father's history [9]

Hi there,
New to the forum, hoping to get some direction on where to look for information on my fathers history.
To cut a long story short, he was born in Poland in 1914 and was a POW during WWII. Once he was freed he moved to Australia where he stayed until he passed away many years ago.

I just don't know where to start to try and find out information.
Thanks in advance
Antony

Thanks for everyone's help so far.
He went to Australia after the end of WWII. From what I have heard, when he was released from being a POW, he was given the option of moving to Australia, UK or USA. I am sure there are papers somewhere.

I live in Australia.
