or so they say..tad convenient don't you think?
A couple of little known facts are that the Polish Grom (their SAS) were responsible for stopping Saddam Hussain's men from dumping oil into the sea (so they could set fire to the gulf coastline off Iraq, stopping allied troops from getting to the oilfields) and they were also responsible for locating Saddam Hussain in that hole in the ground so that US troops could go in for the extraction.
Visa application for Poles wanting to enter the USA was supposed to be scrapped by the Yanks as a payment deal.
The Poles got fucked over as usual.
The Polish also broke the Nazi Enigma machine before passing the book (along with a working, reverse engineered Enigma machine) to Bletchley Park over 6 years later.
The Polish mathematician who originally broke Enigma continued to help to Bletchley Park right up to the end of the war.
