Polish Passport for a UK citizen



Hi,
has anyone any knowledge re the laws about gaining a Polish passport. My father (now deceased) was born in what was then Poland but annexed by the USSR in 1939 and ceded by Poland in 1951 i.e. east of the Curzon line. He was also conscripted into the Germany Army from 1943-1945 but volunteered and fought with the Polish Army 1945 -1948. He was then brought to the UK by the British Army and demobilised. He was naturalised and became a British citizen in 1960. He then lived in the UK till his death. Any help or suggestions would be most appreciated.

Hi, Can anyone explain the Curzon Line rule ?
Seems the Polish government ceded citizenship of all Polish subjects East of this in 1952.

Hi, Thanks for that.
I do have copies of his war records but they are in Polish, did you use a translation service. Also I hear its best to use a Polish Law firm to send in the very complicated forms, do you have one you are using and could recommend . Thanks
