127. The Polish Para Brigade in Arnhem
is one of the saddest stories of all WWII. Those poor guys dropped right into the massacre.
The Poles fought with distinction in every allied theater. They even proved to be among the best resistance fighters, both in the Warsaw Ghetto uprising of '43 and the Warsaw Rebellion of '44. In fact, had Stalin not done everything he could to deny help to the Polish AK forces in August 1944, they very well may have been able to drive the Germans out of Warsaw early. Stalin essentially aided the Nazis in destroying the heroic Polish Home Army.
