What did Poland get out of the wars and struggles for others?

Still avoiding a direct response to any question or point directed though.

You mean the one that free Poles were invited to despite the claims of the Plastic Poles.

What free Poles, lol, are you still thinking the ones under communism were "free"?

myth has been exposed as a lie

when in May, as I recall, some of us heard and red in papers, of the forthcoming Victory Parade. Quite frankly, we accepted it with a proverbial "shrug of shoulders" - THEY will not invite US anyway. Hadn’t we fought for that victory? We wanted to go but the invitation was not forthcoming. And then, a week or so later, a slap in the face - only the pilots who took part in the Battle of Britain were to be invited. Stunned? No. Surprised? Not quite, for almost a year now, we went through "Polacks this, Polacks that ". Despite all this disappointments, incredibility, and all that, some of us felt, that there was some kind of reason for British acting in so "un-gentlemanly" way. Though by then, every Englishman was a S.O.B. in our eyes, some still looked for bright sides. Those invited refused the invitation and stated without hesitation: contingents representing each service or none at all. And so, none it was.

"Polacks this, Polacks that ".

Even when having fought alongside a country you still manage to wind them up to such an extent that all they want to do is turn their back on you

We are talking about facts that Britain is aware of, if you get a chance you should read this as it gives back ground.

only the pilots who took part in the Battle of Britain were to be invited.

Poles were invited to the London parade!

How can I make you understand, only the pilots is not,

Just the pilots of 303, they refused to march without their comrades of the army and navy.

However, many times Poles (and Plastic Poles) have claimed that no free Poles were invited, or even that no Poles at all were invited.

whatever the reason Poles must have felt slighted or they wouldn't complain.

Poles need a reason to complain? Since when?!

Poles need a reason to complain?

Please stop with the lies.

303 squadron was in no way under the control of communists and representatives of that squadron (along with representatives of other Polish squadrons) were invited to the London parade.

How can I make you understand: some free Poles were invited to the London parade?! The fact that they refused to go just proves they were invited.

Face it Harry Britain was scared shitless of what Stalin might think of Poles participating in the victory parade.

Britain could not act otherwise because of the agreements made between the big 3 at Yalta conference settling the final division of Europe.

The 303 squadron was the only Polish unit invited despite your claim.

It was a token of appreciation extended to the Poles by the British government feeling confident enough that this action will not antagonize Soviets.

The free Polish Armed Forces in the West served in all branches of armed forces.

Men of 303 showed respect to the rest of their countryman by declining this invitation if you can even call it that

Britain could not afford to piss Stalin off and inviting the free Poles could be misinterpreted by the Soviets as an official support of the Polish Government in exile despite the agreements signed and commitments made.

Keeping this in mind; I extend my invitation to you Harry for New Year party

Source? We've had Poles and Plastic Poles claim repeatedly that no Poles or no free Poles were invited. Unfortunately the sources show that Polish airmen who took part in the BoB were invited. And do note that these are not my 'claims', they are the statements of people who were there at the time and are critical of the British government.

Actually, it's logical that Poles would be given the cold shoulder. (although I don't agree with it)

At the time, being warmer and friendlier to anti communists would have sent a clear message to Stalin. Perhaps Britain was concerned how this would look?

Strange irony is, by giving Poland the cold shoulder, Britain, inadvertently, might have been swaying more in Poland toward Soviet control, thinking they had no ally in the British.

Probably not, seeing as Poles (both free and official govt) were invited to the London parade.

If that's the case, why do so many Poles say otherwise?

There must be a descrepancy somewhere or Poles would not complain.

Why would Poles make it up and complain without any reason? There must be some validity to it.

Poland, Yugoslavia, and the U.S.S.R. were not represented among the allies at the parade. That is a fact. Why was that? What message did that send?

You haven't a leg to stand on now, Harry. That agreement explains Britain's obligation to Poland. No denying it!!!

Poland had no obligation to hand over Gdańsk to das deutsches.

You haven't a leg to stand on now, Harry. That agreement explains Britain's obligation to Poland. No denying it!!!

We've already discussed this agreement. The question of precisely what support and assistance Britain could have offered to Poland but failed to offer to Poland is one which Poles and Plastic Poles have been avoiding for the entire 27 pages of this thread!

Britain should have invaded Germany!!!! That is the assistance. Anything short of ground invasion was inadequate. Being home to the government in exile simply wasn't enough.

As far as Gdańsk goes, it doesn't matter. Germans and Poles share land around the borders of the two countries. This is an example of past European confusion. Let's look at a place in the US, Texas. Let's say El Paso Texas is 95% Mexican. I don't know if it is but that's really close. It is so close to Mexico but it's in the US. Lots of Mexicans live there. Does that mean the US should give El Paso to Mexico??? Does the US owe Mexico El Paso just because lots of Mexicans chose to and choose to live there?
It's absurd!!! It's the same thing!!! EXACTLY THE SAME PRINCIPLE.

Britain should have invaded Germany!!!! That is the assistance. Anything short of ground invasion was inadequate.

By March of 1939 Britain was equipped to go to war and had previously promised to defend Poland. In January 1939, the navy had been strengthened and production of planes had been increased; in February, defence spending was increased to £580 million. If Britain could do all that, why couldn't they invade Germany???? They could have if they really wanted to. No excuses!!
