Based on the experiences of the authors father "Fighting Poles" is a fictionalized story of action, adventure and history. Austria welcomed the German army, The Czechs accepted the inevitable, but Poland was overrun and occupied but never stopped fighting. France and England betrayed their ally never launching the attack that was to draw off the Nazi Juggernaut. Russia attacked Poland from the east and crushed the conventional forces. America and England signed the Atlantic Charter but later allowed Russia to defy it at Poland's expense. The Poles formed a shadow government and an underground army and fought the Nazis every day of the Occupation. While the rest of Europe cowered under the Nazi boot Warsaw rose up and fought, not once but twice and was the city left a wasteland. The Poles sent an enigma machine to England and helped break the German code and 200,000 Poles fought under British command only to be betrayed again by the west and handed over to Russia at wars end. Despite a bloodthirsty occupation and the loss of Six Million of it's citizens to Nazi barbarity and Russian deportation, Poland continued to fight. This is the story of a small piece of that fight and two families involvement in it. One Polish family member and one American come together for a brief moment only to be swallowed in the politics of the time.
