Description
 
The Poles were the first to fight the evil Nazi Germany and the coarse and brutal Russia in World War II.  They never ceased to combat the enemy "for your freedom and ours."  Polish soldiers fell gallantly on many battlefields, dedicating their hearts to the lands where they had fought.
Poland became a pawn in the international politics of the United States, Great Britain and Russia.  The American President carried on a personal and naive policy of appeasing Russia, and his military leaders focused on winning the war but losing the peace.  President Roosevelt failed to appease Josef Stalin just as Neville Chamberlin failed to appease Adolf Hitler.  President Roosevelt's disastrous foreign policy cast Poland into Communist captivity.  Victory for the Allies turned out to be defeat for Poland, and at the Victory Parade in London Polish forces were not allowed to participate, 8 June 1946.

Despite numerous obstacles and discouragement, the Polish determination to gain freedom never faltered.  The first American ambassador to the Polish Provisional Government in 1945, Arthur Bliss Lane, hailed "the unconquerable spirit of the Poles in adversity."
