  • One of the differences between the Polish community of the 1930s and   the one post-1945 was that the post-45 community was by nature a patriotic   community and government (in London) in exile who were willing and   able to fight on behalf of the Allies.
  • If the Poles posed particular problems for the politicians of the   day then they have also continued to pose problems for historians.   At a national level, British history seems to omit these people, rendering   them invisible, and often it is left to the local historian to write   their history.
