2nd Corps of the Polish Army

The 2nd Corps of the Polish Army was a significant military unit formed during World War II. Created in 1943, it consisted mainly of Polish soldiers who had escaped from German-occupied Poland or from Soviet captivity. Commanded by General Władysław Anders, the Corps fought alongside the Allies, notably during the Italian Campaign, where it played a crucial role in battles such as the Battle of Monte Cassino. The 2nd Corps was instrumental in restoring Polish military pride and contributed to efforts for Poland's sovereignty after the war, establishing a legacy of bravery and resilience.
