Look what happened to many Czech and Slovak warriors who joined RAF and returned home after WW2. Many of them have been considered as spies by communist regime under Stalin and served many years in jail or been even executed.
Heroes are not always acknowledged as it should be.
Without this thread I wouldn't know about this part of Irish - UK history.
Just a side note: Even today it is considered a criminal act if a Slovak citizen would join military service of any foreign state without permission from according authorities.
