Władysław Anders was a Polish military leader and politician who played a significant role during World War II. He commanded the Polish Armed Forces in the West, notably leading the Polish II Corps that fought alongside the Allies in Italy, including the Battle of Monte Cassino. Prior to the war, he was a respected officer; after Poland's occupation, he became a symbol of Polish resistance and independence. His leadership helped maintain hope and morale among Poles abroad, and his efforts contributed to Poland's military efforts against Nazi Germany.
