For those of you who believe that the rest of the world is against you, fear not!. Some of us do recognise the valuable & decisive contribution of the Polish pilots during the course of the Battle of Britain, and thereafter.
Robert is not alone, although Brits are badly served by many of their countrymen posting here:
Polish fighter pilots had served with distinction with the British Royal Air Force during the Battle of Britain in 1940, so much so that Queen Elizabeth II said in 1996 that "if Poland had not stood with us in those days ...

OH please they learned cooperation of attack on bomber formation form Poles. The only cowboy in Polish wing was Czech.
Funny how well the Czechs served in the Polish Air Force in the U.K. It really shows how little Czechs blamed Poles for the Anglo-French sell out of Czechoslovakia, since they served under Polish command.

the Polish style: run for British ports before the first shot is even fired.
Consider that he has a very German middle name which I believe comes from his ethnic German grandfather. It explains much of the anti-Polonism which he spouts here. Simply use the ignore button to improve the discussion. Ignoring him is truly the worst thing that we can do to him here.
