Never was so much owed by so many to so few

‘Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few’. This is a well-known sentence by Sir Winston Churchill to evidence the decisive paper of the RAF pilots during the Battle of Britain as well as starting the dangerous bombing campaign over Germany. The bravery of these men and women achieved a great victory over Luftwaffe attacks, England was not occupied by German troops and allied armies defeated the Third Reich.

But it’s important to remember that several spitfires of those air squadrons were driven by polish pilots. When Germans occupied and defeated Poland, lots of polish ran to England and other countries. Polish experienced airmen didn’t remain waiting with crossed arms, but joined to the RAF and fighted as British to defend a foreign land.

Nowadays, in the Brexit age, the populist parties are blaming against polish (and others) immigrants in the UK. But those same polish helped British people to not be enslaved by and occupation army.

The first Luftwaffe bombing attacks took place 76 years ago today. So today is a good day to remember the RAF heroes and their polish brave people.
