I have read that the Poles love Americans due to us ending communism.

Any truth to that?

[Cronos]

well, Poles love America for the symbolism of freedom, though that has taken a lot of beating over the Obama years -- right now Poles do not believe that the Obama administration would help Poland in the event of a Russian invasion.

Poles love Ronald Reagan, but believe that communism ending was due to a mix of Solidarnosc (the Polish anti-communist labour union that started up in the late 1970s), Ronald Reagan, Thatcher and very critically Pope John Paul II
