What was Poland's role in World War 2?
World War 2 started with aggression of Germany against Poland in September 1, 1939. On September 17 forces of Red Army entered the theatre of operations. The invasion lasted until October 6, when major remaining military resistance capitulated. The government of Poland migrated first to Romania, then to England. As a result of war, 6.5 millions of citizens of Poland lost their lives, with 10% of it on battlefield (which is more than UK and US casualties from this war combined). After the aggression of Germany against Soviet Union, thousands of Polish prisoners were released from work camps and prisons to join a new military unit, commonly called "Anders' Army." This newly made unit gained fame in battlefields in Egypt and Italy, especially during the Battle of Monte Casino.
Meanwhile in Poland numerous resistance groups were created. The most numerous, Home Army, counted approximately 400,000-500,000 volunteers. Their actions varied from disruption of axis logistics to freeing prisoners. Quite a few uprising were organized, like "Warsaw Ghetto Uprising" or the "Warsaw Uprising" (not the same events). Unfortunately, during the last year of the war Yalta conference decided future destiny of Poland. The three winning leaders, namely Franklin D. Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and Stalin, decided to let Poland be politically annexed by Soviet Union, which was later on recognized by both, Potsdam conference, and by recognition of the puppet communist government in Poland. This disloyalty passed to history as the "Western betrayal", and caused a great upset both among soldiers, British politicians (Baron Henry Strauss et al), and Polish population.
Poland ended the war in a tragic situation, and it had to stay this way for years to come. Political, scientific, and educational elites murdered or exiled. A puppet Soviet-controlled government established and ensured by Red Army stationed within the boarders. Economy and infrastructure ruined, and extreme losses in lives. Also, a memory of betrayal from both, their allies and Soviet Union, created a bitter awareness of isolation, which is strong even today.
Poland was invaded by the Germans. World War 2 broke out 2 days later.
