They also had the wonderful bear called Voijtek (Wojtek?) who basically became a soldier.

@michaelmazowiecki9195 The Poles also had their machine guns positioned to fire at a closer range than normal at the time , thus bringing more weight of fire onto the target and closer range, more damage, so i was told by a former RAF/PAF fighter pilot.

@twirajuda Changed the angles of the guns and taught them to get closer to make the shot more effective too, two Poles taught me to fly, their stories were amazing

@birotariusintaberna818 I want to read those too. the official belief is that the aircraft, a Liberator was sabotaged by a German agent who came to work each day via Algeciras, and contaminated the fuel. ironic that the only survivor was the pilot.

@japethstevens8473 I believe there was an argument between the two governments and one side decided not to take part, not really Churchill's fault.

@birotariusintaberna818 There are a lot of Poles in the UK who would disagree, two taught me to fly, and stayed here, and many i meet today also are thankful for what happened and how Poland finally gained freedom (except for EU bullies) and they could visit home again
