Re: Poles in the Luftwaffe
My father, who was in the Polish Army, never returned. He ended up in the United States, but he never became a citizen. When I was a boy, I found out he had to complete an Alien Address Form every year. The U.S. wanted to know where he was because Poland was now a Communist country. General Patton was quite upset because he believed that the Allies had liberated Europe from Nazi rule. The Soviets got Eastern Europe. And new forward bases and troops.
I spent the 1980s reading military journals in libraries. Page after page about attack/response scenarios if the Soviets decided to move west.
Look up UNRRA or the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration. Polish refugees who had even distant relatives in the United States could enter at New York. Those who did not ended up in Canada.
