Within a month the Brits were in France. That’s how they lived up to their pact to support Poland? LoL!

The Allies chose to defeat the Axis powers from the west which between that and coming up through Italy was about their best choice.

They declared and entered the fray after Germany invaded your homeland and fought the war to defeat the Nazis the best they could and died by the millions.

The fact that they could not invade Poland and toss out the Nazis disappoints you and makes you ungrateful for their sacrifices is ungracious, unrealistic and thankfully uncommon.

We freed Norway from Axis control without a lot of military operations there either except for sabotage and the rare raid...marginally more than how we actually operated in Poland yet I wonder if the Norwegians are as ungrateful Since we were unable to actually parachute into Poland or land on their rocky northern beachhead in German controlled and inhabited territory maybe we should have just let the Nazis have Poland and sued for peace. Lots of good men died for otherwise and they had no vested interest in Poland but they died just the same. while we are at it, let's just revisit the Treaty of Versailles, maybe Poland shoulda been less hungry.... history is full of monday morning quarterbacking, what ifs, and apparently ingrates
