On the 8th September 1944 the first German V-2 rocket hit London. The use of these weapons would have happened earlier and caused more distractions if not for the brave people from the Polish underground. You can read more about it in my article here: secret-ww2.net/news/80th-anni…

Today, we honour the heroes of D-Day. Polish forces played a crucial role in the success of Operation Overlord, with Polish airmen, naval vessels, and the 1st Armoured Division making significant contributions. Their bravery helped turn the tide in Europe. theddaystory.com/discover/famil…
On #Dday we can commemorate the involvement of the Polish underground movement in fighting V-weapons. If the employment of V-1 and V-2 had not been delayed then, according to Dwight Eisenhower, "our invasion [of Normandy] would have proved extremely difficult, if not impossible"
