Who Hates Poles?
21 September 2018
In 1940 the Polish Ambassador to the USA cut the ribbon on the Pulaski Skyway between Newark and NYC. In 1941 when I was six years old, I met him and his wife a former Follies girl, as was my mother, living in a basement apartment next to the 3rd ave El. I met their 2 sons one of whom was a pilot who flew American warplanes in the Pacific. He sent me pictures of P-51s. Unfortunately he was killed fighting the Japs.

In America Polish people were well regarded, and my best mate in high school was Polish, and ended up being my room mate as a college freshman.

I did not know the 303 story till I watched download of this story. Poorly written but well acted.

Maybe the Brits remembered from history class that Pulaski helped General Washington's troops fight the Brits in the revolutionary war and still considered America a colony, and Poland a throwaway?

Brave Polish service in WW2 needed to be told even if poorly written and directed.
