Polish Intelligence Contribition In Ww 2

[marek_pk]

Found this article posted on another forum.

Polish foreign minister Adam Rotfeld considers the report on
Poland's contribution to the Allied victory in World War Two
compiled by the joint Polish-British commission of historians as a
meaningful development in the countries' mutual relations. The
document presented in London points to 44% of British intelligence
information as coming from Polish agents and sources. Minister
Rotfeld, who is on a working visit to the UK, said the report is
accompanied by mixed feelings. On the one hand, Poland is very
satisfied by the British authorities' consent to opening war
intelligence files to Polish historians. On the other, he
underscored, the question arises: why has it taken 60 post-war years
for the move to be made? Adam Rotfeld added, the report confirms the
tremendous contribution of Poles to the anti-Nazi effort and the
ultimate victory of the Allies. The head of Polish diplomacy also
pointed to the increased meaning of intelligence documents found in
British archives about the Holocaust passed on by Polish sources
during the war. Now, nobody can say they had no knowledge about the
genocide, Rotfeld said.

Glad to see more of this material coming out and the Poles regaining the credit they so rightfully deserves for their role in the war.

My feeling is that the Holocaust reports were greeted by two reactions:

1) Anti-Semites admiring that the Nazis were getting rid of the Jews.
2) Doubters who felt they had been fooled the first time by anti-German propaganda and would not believe it the second time.
