Gladiators of World War II, "Free Polish Forces"

The swift German overrunning of their country in 1939 did not crush the Polish spirit. Many Poles managed to escape to the West to carry on the fight. Polish fighter pilots played a significant role in the Battle of Britain, while Polish ground forces helped to liberate Western Europe. Another Polish force, which had been held captive by the Russians in Siberia, made an epic trek to the Middle East and then fought in Italy, where their courage brought a victorious end to the drawn out and bitter battle for Monte Cassino.
