Reveals All But Forgotten Polish Achievements in WWII,
By
This review is from: Korbonski: the Polish Underground State (Cloth) (East European monograph series ; no. 39) (Hardcover)
Popular Holocaust materials mistakenly portray Poland as a spectator nation in the face of the German Nazis. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, few people realize that 3 million Polish non-Jews were murdered by the Germans along with the 6 million Jews (p. 13). Specific achievements of the Polish Underground resistance are tabulated on pages 84-85. These include thousands of acts of sabotage, thousands of Gestapo agents liquidated, and numerous acts of military intelligence. The perfidious Soviet takeover is also recounted. Korbonski even finds space for humor during tragic situations. For example, he notes that the PPR (Polish Workers Party) was renamed "The Paid Flunkies of Russia"--following the same letters of abbreviation in the Polish language.
