LIST FOUR: France 1939 - 1940

CLICK HERE to be taken to a history of the War cemetery at Dieuze in France which contains the remains of a number of Polish soldiers who perished during the German attack on the Maginot Line in 1940.

The page at the link above is in the French language. Briefly, it details the efforts made to find, identify and properly rebury the remains of Polish (approximately 500 members of the First Polish Grenadiers Division) and French soldiers who perished during the German invasion of France at the Maginot Line in June, 1940. The effort began 2 years after the battle ended and was spearheaded by French lieutenant Robardet, a POW of the Germans. Many of the dead Poles did not wear dog-tags nor did they carry personal identification and so a number of them are remembered by a marker as "Unknown Soldiers." The efforts to identify the soldiers has continued over the years but the task is a difficult one. 
 
If you scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on the photo of the grave marker on the left hand side,  you will be taken to a list of those Poles known to be buried there. Click on the British flag for the English language version.

Considering that an estimated 1,400 Polish soldiers were killed in action (4,500 wounded) during the fall of France in May and June 1940, this list is very incomplete. Due to the fact that France was quickly overrun by the Germans there was no possibility of collecting information and certainly no chance of having reports filed. Polish units were cut off and encircled, some annihilated. Once it became obvious that the defeat of France was imminent, preventing the soldiers from being captured became the priority. General Sikorski in London broadcast orders to all Polish soldiers to scatter and head to France's Atlantic sea ports for evacuation to Britain. Only the 2nd Infantry Division, stationed at the south end of the French defensive line, was able to cross into Switzerland more or less intact.
 
The First Grenadier Division under the command of General Bronislaw Duch, was deployed southwest of Nancy. Its major battle was fought at Lagarde on June 17 and 18, 1940.
 
The Second Infantry Fusiliers (Riflemen) Division (Dywizja Strzelcow) was deployed near Belfort, not far from the Swiss border. It was engaged in a two day battle at Clos-du-Doubs on June 17 and 18 but was ordered to cross the Swiss border which it did on the evening of June 19, 1940.
 
The Tenth Armoured Cavalry Brigade (Brygada Kawalerii Pancerno-Motorowej), commanded by General Maczek, fought in the area of Champaubert and Montbard, some 60 miles northwest of Dijon. It too was ordered to break off its engagement with the enemy and so on the evening of June 16, 1940, it destroyed its equipment and the men scattered.
 
Other Polish units, including a number of anti-tank companies, had been distributed among the French forces. 
 
Paryz = Paris
pochowany na polu walki = buried on the battlefield
pod = at
polegl = killed in action
przy katedrze = by the cathedral
w rejonie = in the area of
wartownik = guard
zginal = missing in action (implies that the soldier was killed, not captured)
zmarl w szpitalu = died in the hosptital

The Polish Independent Highland Rifle Brigade, also known as the Polish Independent Podhalanska Rifle Brigade (Samodzielna Brygada Strzelcow Podhalanskich), was one of the units formed in France in 1940 and received specialized training in mountain warfare. Under the command of General Zygmunt Szyszko-Bohusz, the Brigade sailed to Norway to meet the German invasion in May, 1940. However, on the eve of May 31, it had received orders to return to France and join in the battles there. It arrived at the port of Brest on June 17, only days before the capitulation of France, taking part in the defense of Brittany before disbanding. Its soldiers escaped to Britain and Egypt or joined the French underground.

LIST EIGHT: Polish Independent Parachute Brigade 1940 -1946
  

CLICH HERE for a quick synopsis of the Polish story.

CLICK HERE for a full report on OPERATION MARKET-GARDEN.

The Polish Independent Parachute Brigade (Brygada Spadochronowa) was an elite unit formed in Great Britain specifically for the purpose of taking part in the liberation of Poland. Instead, it was used in Operation Market Garden (September 17 - 26, 1944) to help seize and hold bridges over the Rhine in advance of the British XXX Corps infantry and armour.
 
A portion of the brigade of 1,732 men, under the command of General Stanislaw Sosabowski, either landed by glider or dropped by parachute near the towns of Driel and Arnhem between the 17th and 21st of September, 1944. By September 24, the British land forces had arrived to join up with the airborne units and by September 26, the Polish troops began the march to Nijmegen to help consolidate the positions there.
 
The brigade was later attached to the First Polish Armoured Division and after the war, saw occupation duty until it was disbanded.

Major-General R. E. Urquart, General O.C. First Airborne Division, to General K. Sosnkowski, C.-in-C. of the Polish Forces, on fight at Arnhem of the Polish Parachute Brigade under Major-General S. Sosabowski (extract), 2nd October, 1944.
 
"It is requested that you will forward to the Commander of the Polish Independent Paratroop Brigade Group my appreciation of their services whilst they were under my command for Operation Market.
 
"The Glider element of the Brigade landed on 19th September, and were with us throughout the battle. The Parachute Brigade Group was landed on the south bank of the River Rhine opposite our bridge-head on 21st September. Fifty men were ferried across to join us on the evening of the 22nd, and a further 150 arrived the following evening. These welcome additions to our already hard-pressed forces at once came into action and gave us very valuable assistance.
 
"The losses sustained both before and during the evacuation were heavy. It may, however, be a satisfaction to know that these losses were not in vain and that the name of the Polish Independent Parachute Brigade Group will be linked to that of the 1st British Airborne Division in connection with the memorable battle at Arnhem."
