2nd Polish Corps

The 2nd Polish Corps was a distinguished military unit formed during World War II, primarily composed of Polish soldiers who had escaped occupied Poland. It was established in the Middle East under British command and later fought alongside Allied forces in Europe, notably participating in the Battle of Monte Cassino in Italy. The Corps symbolized Polish resistance and resilience, contributing significantly to the Allied war effort. After the war, many members faced political challenges in Poland due to shifting communist policies, but their military legacy remains a vital part of Polish history and Allied victory.
