Polskie serce w mundurze feldgrau – skomplikowane podróże z Wermachtu do Polskich Sił Zbrojnych na Zachodzie
A Polish heart in a feldgrau uniform – complicated journeys from the Wehrmacht to the Polish Army in Exile

Summary/Abstract: During the Second World War almost 90,000 men – Polish citizens who previously were soldiers in the German army, served in the Polish Army in Exile. This means that by May 1945 almost every third man who wore a battledress with ‘Poland’ on his shoulder titles at some point in the past wore a feldgrau uniform. Those who returned home after war ended, most of whom were from Silesia, Pomerania, Warmia and Mazury, for many years disappeared from collective memory, their stories absent both from the public as well as the private sphere. This article focuses on the often complicated journeys those soldiers had to undertake to find a place for themselves in the Polish Army.
