Don't forget the Poles. Military graveyards all over Europe are filled with them (to avoid the obvious cheap joke, I mean people from Poland !!). They're stubborn bas$*%rds too, thank God.
BTW..It's been suggested that the Battle of Britain may not have turned out quite so well without the Polish squadrons. That might have changed things a bit !!!



The contributions to the overall war effort by eastern European and Baltic Countrys. Seems to get overlooked,
While all the hollywood movies praze the "French Resistance"

You mentioned the Polish flyers and troops after the fall of Poland, but the Poles put up a pretty sprited defence of there homeland. And suffered a great deal because of it.Attacked by Germany form the west and Russia from the east.

The Greeks in the early years of the war kicked the living crap out of the Italians.Only when Germany joined in did Greece fall.But even then they did not give up. By the end of the war the Greek Andartiko (resistance) had somwhere
around 17000 members and had forced German occupiers to abbandon some towns.

Yugoslavia's Tito put an army of 70,000 troops in the field
and tied down a hole boat load of German troops that could have been used elsewhere.


Some historians say now the the "Famed French Resistance" barely existed if it existed at all.And most of their "Heroic Deeds" where later made up by DeGaulle and others to give them a little pride back.
