POLAND - FIRST TO FIGHT has been used for years and revived recently to show that Poladn fought from the first to the last day of the war. Would POLSKA - PIERWSZA DO BOJU render that idea?

Another is POLAND - SECOND TO NONE which has been (incorrectly?) redndered in Polonia as POLSKA - DRUGA DO NIKOGO. Any comments?

Another one just out of interest: what were the original words of Winston Churchill on the British government after it signed the treaty of Munich with Germany in 1938:
WYBRALI HAŃBĘ ZAMIAST WOJNY, TERAZ BĘDĄ MIELI I HAŃBĘ I WOJNĘ.

[Unfortunately, I only know this comment in the Polish version.]

edit...

Thank you for the translation, Polonius. "Second to none" could probably mean "prawie żaden/żadna or "prawie się nie liczy", but we need a context here ...
