Poland and 'The Poles on the Fronts'

Post by :FI:Mefisto » Thu Aug 25, 2005 8:59 am

for some this page might be interesting, some should read it to get some basic data... (yes, Poland existed before WW2, and yes 'we' broke the enigma code not British as they used to say, even recently etc. etc.)

http://www.poland.gov.pl/ww2/

some should start with
http://poland.gov.pl/

The very center of Europe is located in Poland, so we are in Central Europe not "Eastern", yes, some might be surprised by that but Poland is located in Europe... honest...
no, there are no polar bears here, we ate them, some remained in the ZOOs - food reserve ;) :lol:

hmmm... see? always learning, congratulations, now yours private horizons got a bit wider :badgrin:

It might be even bigger surprise that Polish king was also tsar of Russia - Wladysław IV Waza, he resigned after 3 years... :roll: he also signed perpetual peace treaty with Russia, you could see how much worth are those treaties, same goes with aliances just before ww2

Neat, Kep and I want to go on a visit there someday, I think the Ol timer has one good adventure in him. Besides I have cousins and a couple of Uncles there, well Kep's Uncles, my great Uncles.
