Re: Poles in the Luftwaffe
Strictly speaking, they had to be made German citizens first, on various excuses. It is estimated some 350 thousands were drafted, and no way to check them all. They served all branches. The only way to learn is to check personal files from MoD and BAMA.
BTW There was an elusive guy, Kurt Podleska, who reputedly flew as a gunner on Stukas, deserted to the Polish Home Army, and was killed in action in 1944.
