History / What do Poles owe to Czechs? [83]
Mister goofy, I respect your opinion but I cannot shair it because I think different. No, I am not communist, quite differently, I think I am more Polish about my desire for freedom than average Czechs. I love freedom and respect all heroes who fight for it.
But history is history and you cannot change it. Destroying historical monuments is rather improper act because it falsifies history, even if this monuments are contravershal.

History / What do Poles owe to Czechs? [83]
Free Poland from death by Nazis. Polish suffered a lot in World War Two, how many millions died? Ceskoslovensko lost a few hundred thousand, most of Jewish race. Poland was planned to vanish by Nazis. But it was reborn again in 1945. Of course dominated by Soviet Union, so Poland was not free country, but a country in which Polish peoples could live and not die like slaves.
I used word liberation and I will keep it.
Liberated! Liberated?! Could you please learn a bit more of the Polish History in the Twentieth century

History / What do Poles owe to Czechs? [83]
Yes. you think about Josef František great soldier of which Czechs and Polish are proud.
Wiki says this:
Sergeant Josef František DFM* (7 October 1914, Otaslavice - 8 October 1940) was a Czech fighter pilot and World War II flying ace who flew for the air forces of Czechoslovakia, Poland and the United Kingdom. He is famous as being the first highest scoring ace in the Battle of Britain.
After Czechoslovakia fell under German occupation (15 March 1939) like many other Czechoslovak airmen he escaped to Poland. Most Czechoslovak airmen then left Poland for France before the start of the Second World War, though František decided to stay and serve with the Polish Air Force.
During the German invasion of Poland in September 1939, František initially evacuated training aircraft from the air base at Dęblin.
He was buried in a Polish military cemetery. He was awarded several decorations, among them the Virtuti Militari 5th class and he was the first foreigner awarded the Distinguished Flying Medal with Bar.
I alwys was interested for this hero. Great man.
"What do Poles owe to Chechs?" it is maybe too strong word - this owe.
I don`t say about owe, but contribution is better to say. What else is know in Česko?
Probably it is legend but Wrocław, beautiful city in south Poland started by Czech prince Vratislav 1.
As I remember the top ace in the Battle of Britain was a Czech, flying for 303. I do not know if this qualifies :)
