  1.  @ann_corePL  In broad terms, allied pilots over claimed by about 2-1 and the Germans over claimed by about 3-1. Polish pilots were no different in this regard.

  2. WINSTON S CHURCHILL. THE SECOND WORLD WAR. CASSELL & CO LTD REVISED EDITION NOVEMBER 1950. VOUME VI: TRIUMPH AND TRAGEDY 'There was no worth-while property belonging to the Polish Government in London. I said I believed there was about £20,000,000 in gold in London and Canada 'we had paid the Poles about £120,000,000 to finance their Army and diplomatic service, and to enable them to look after Poles who had who had sought refuge on our shores from the German scourge'

  3. 'We shall never forget the beave Polish piolets and also all the others piolets coming from all over Europe to save Britain, changing the course of history forever.' Getr real. Overseas pilots made up one in five of Fighter Command pilots in the Battle of Britain. Britain won the Battle of Britain by a country mile. That 20% did not make the didfference between victory and defeat.

  4.  @ann_corePL  What is or was the 'battle of England'? What was the 'the ungentemenly act of treason'?

  7. Britain did not back the Soviet invasion in 1939, it took no stance on the matter. What should Britain have done? Declare war on Russia? I don't think that would have been a very good idea. If Britain and France could not stop Germany invading Poland, what chance did they have of stopping a Russian invasion? In 1943, if Britain had spoken about Russian culpability in the Katyn massacre, they would have effectively been siding with the Nazis against the country that was doing the vast bulk of the fighting against the German army. I don't think that would have been a very good idea. How would that have helped Poland? Britain betray the Warsaw uprising? The Russians would not let British aircraft land on Russian airfields, the USA would not support any attempt by Britain to pressure the Russians in helping: ‘Prime Minister to President Roosevelt 25 Aug 44’ ‘As Stalin’s reply evades the definite questions asked and adds nothing to our knowledge, I propose a reply on the following lines: [Begins.] “We earnestly desire to send U.S. aircraft from England. ‘President Roosevelt to Prime Minister 26Aug 44’ ‘I do not consider it would prove advantageous to the long-range general war prospect for me to join in with you in the proposed message to Stalin.’ What was Britain supposed to do? Drop supplies into the Polish partizans in Warsaw, and the crash land the aircraft somewhere in Europe, and then run out of planes and pilots in about three days? I don't think that would have been a very good idea. How would that have helped Poland?

  11.  @piotrrogowski9248  The RAF were still winning before any Polish units joined the battle.

  12.  @janjachymiak9013  The alternative would have been not to try to to negotiate, but to leave Poland in Russian hands withoit a word being said. Which one would you have wanted?.. Btw. The idea of Britain going into an unwinnable war with Russia in 1945, over Poland, after six years of war is absurd.
