Personally, I think we should be prepared to overlook the gamesmanship that has been played in this poll. It does reflect the help that the Brits/Allies got from other countries volunteers,the welcome they received and the great sacrificies they ALL made.
It almost makes the Brits out to be truly non racist Europeans. I'm not sure how that fits into the current narrative....
p.s I don't doubt that the addition of the Poles taught us a thing or two about fighting a ruthless enemy. I can only imagine how seriously they took the opportunity to fight the Germans compared to the jovial, almost casual way the Brits have been portrayed as fighting in the Battle of Britain.
