Polish 2nd Corps

The Polish 2nd Corps was a military unit formed during World War II, composed mainly of Polish soldiers who had escaped from occupied Poland. It was part of the British Army and fought alongside Allied forces. The corps played a significant role in key battles, including the Italian Campaign, notably the assault on Monte Cassino in 1944. Its formation allowed Polish soldiers to continue fighting for their country's liberation after Poland was taken by Germany and the Soviet Union. The corps symbolized Polish resilience and contribution to the Allied victory in Europe.
