Description

The German invasion of Poland on Friday 1 September 1939 launched the European theatre of WWII. The Polish military units that escaped the occupation took part in major Allied operations in Europe, Africa and the Middle East, fighting on land, sea and sky. The Polish forces as a whole are considered to have been the 4th largest Allied army in Europe after the Soviet Union, the United States and Britain.
