A friend's Father was from the part of Poland that was recognised by the Germans as part of Germany and so got conscripted into the German army. He was eventually captured and ended up in Britain and when he and his colleagues were interrogated by the Free Polish they were described to the British as hating the Germans more than we do. He and other all ended up in the British Army. At the end of the war they knew they could never go home as being in the German army meant certain death. So when the Polish resettlement act came in and they became British he and his best friend decided that as they are now English Gentlemen they will never speak Polish again. He kept up some contact with family but had to be very careful. He also married an Irish Lady and had 2 children. Not a Pilot but ended up involved in Bomb Disposal. But my memories of Ealing involve the Polish Landladies of the big houses that us newcomers rented rooms in. I saw the film last night and enjoyed it. Their contribution must always be remembered. I once visited the War memorial with a Polish friend and she was quite illuminating with the History. |
