About the book >.>.> Struggling for the freedom of one’s own country whilst on foreign soil is not a common experience in the history of warfare. In the case of Poland battles for independence carried abroad were immortalised by the words of the National Anthem originating from the Napoleonic era. In keeping with this tradition following the German invasion of Poland in 1939 many thousands of Polish soldiers escaped to the West to fight for the re-establishment of Poland regardless of the hardship and sacrifice involved. The ‘Sikorski Tourists as the Germans called them made their way to France and after its fall to England. I was one of Sikorski’s tourists in the 1st Polish Armoured Division under the command of Major-General Stanislaw Maczek.
