Poland Lives

Well as a Brit im a bit annoyed at your complaint of little british assistance. There was no allies as you call it. France and Britain was ill prepared to defend themselves, let alone help Poland in its time of need.

Many thousands of poles managed to get to Britain and they helped considerable in the fight against the Nazis. A close friend captured at Dunkirk told me first hand of the atrocities he witnessed the Germans inflict on the Poles. My brother in laws father fought with the polish resistance after escaping a prisoner of war camp. All the Poles i have met who came to the UK are grateful for our help.

I know i should be commentating on the content rather than the side notes but if you make these comments it becomes less clinical to examine.

Then dont make political historic opinions if you want it to be judged on its own merits.

Have you read history or just invented a history to fit your views. Britain was profoundly beaten and had to retreat loosing most of its equipment and supplies. The regular army and the TA had no modern weapons, nothing that could beat the panzer's and had very little air support. So your idea that they could sweep across Europe and defend the Poles is an absolutely stupid concept. As for your view on the Polish opinions about our response, i think you should ask those Poles who stood alone with the British and faced the Nazis, when all others had capitulated or had made peace treaties.

I didn't say I didn't mind someone taking issue with an historical fact, I said I was hoping for comments on the story itself, not a comment that bears extremely little relevance to the story I wrote.



As I said, Britain and France on the continent were defeated due to poor planning and strategic errors, as well as inept leaders who were unwilling to exploit German weakness on the emerging western front.

The RAF was strong by 1939, and more so by 1940. The French Army was not ill-equipped. The British on the continent were not ill-equipped. The French Army throughout the 1930s had major divisions designed to operate on the basis of offensive war in the event of hostilities with the Hitler regime. The French had almost 100 divisions, over 2,500 tanks deployed along the German border and neighboring regions, while the Germans had barely 40 divisions, over 30 of those being reserve divisions, and virtually no tanks. Don't believe me? Read a history book for yourself that goes in-depth on the years before and the year of the Battle of France.

Your statement that the Poles either fought with the British (directly or in tandem with support) or made peace is probably the most ignorant statement I've read on this forum so far in being here.

The Poles fought and died in Poland, in occupied Poland, by themselves without any support. The Poles who hadn't the training or ability to fight, and were deported en mass to death camp and to ghettos did so without any support. British involvement in the conflict in Poland was virtually non-existent.

I would appreciate comments being directed to the actual story. If someone has an issue with an opinion, I'd prefer and rather have a thread created in a relevant history subforum because this thread has already gone off-topic far enough.

Any work of fiction should be classified as fiction and not be referred to as facts.

Yes, is that relevant to being allowed to make statements of fact and not be questioned. If thats so, im going to be very active in the creative writing section.
