@VanishedLondon Thank you for this article. To add some background to these events in London, please check out my article about the Polish resistance involvement in countering V weapons: https://t.co/PqO7n1UJXH

[Magdalena Thomas @MagdaHT]

On the 8th September 1944 the first German V-2 rocket hit London. The use of these weapons would have happened earlier and caused more distractions if not for the brave people from the Polish underground. You can read more about it in my article here: https://t.co/PqO7n1UJXH

Today, we honour the heroes of D-Day. Polish forces played a crucial role in the success of Operation Overlord, with Polish airmen, naval vessels, and the 1st Armoured Division making significant contributions. Their bravery helped turn the tide in Europe. https://t.co/wS5ni9OTA5

On #Dday we can commemorate the involvement of the Polish underground movement in fighting V-weapons. If the employment of V-1 and V-2 had not been delayed then, according to Dwight Eisenhower, "our invasion [of Normandy] would have proved extremely difficult, if not impossible"

80 years ago on 20 May 1944 a German V-2 rocket crashed onto a bank of the River Bug and did not explode. The Polish Home Army retrieved it and transported the vital parts to Warsaw where they were examined and then flown to Britain in Operation Wildhorn III. #WW2 #Poland #OTD

116 years ago today, the remarkable and outstanding 🇵🇱 woman Krystyna Skarbek, aka Christine Granville, was born.

She was the 1st and longest-serving woman in the UK as a special agent during #WW2. Did you know she was called "Churchill's favourite spy"?
