'As in any other parts of public service it's better to have professionals than to have amateurs forced to serve in the army and the second thing is that when we don't have a professional army, most soldiers spend only nine months in the Polish army and this is too little time to train them properly.'

Easy to fix: Find leaders like General Stani Sosabowski, and the youngsters will reenlist just to be around them.

With too few free Poles to form a division in England, then 49-year-old Colonel Sosabowski attended and passed the para training course, and formed the free poles into the 1st Independent Parachute Brigade.

Promoted to General to lead them, Sosobowski jumped with his men into Arnhem during the failed British-planned Operation Market-Garden, then was used by the British as a scapegoat for their failure.

No matter. Poles know, particularly the ones who jump out of airplanes. He was known then and is still as Papa Sosabowski
