Description
The Polish Resettlement Corps 1946-1949 Britain's Polish Forces by Wiesław Rogalski At the end of World War II, Poland was left in a precarious position, with its future uncertain. In response to this uncertainty, the British government established the Polish Resettlement Corps, a mass immigration program that would bring thousands of Poles to Britain. This book tells the story of how this initiative came about and the impact it had on both the individuals involved and the wider world. The resettlement program was not just a practical solution to a complex problem, but also a symbol of British commitment to Polish independence. The book explores the methods used to facilitate the program, including the involvement of trade unions, professional associations, and governments around the world. With over 33 chapters and numerous photographs, this book provides a detailed and comprehensive account of this significant event in modern history. With its unique blend of historical research and international cooperation, this book sheds new light on a fascinating period in British-Polish relations.
