Poland in World War II by Andrew Hempel
Poland's participation in World War II is generally little known in the West and is often reduced to stereotypes advanced by the media: German planes attacking the civilian population in 1939 and Polish cavalry charging German tanks. In actuality, it was not an easy victory for the Germans in 1939, and after the conquest of Poland, the Poles continued to fight in their homeland, on all European fronts, and in North Africa. This illustrated history is a concise presentation of the Polish military was effort in World War II, intermingled with factual human interest stories and 50 black and white photos and illustrations.
Andrew Hempel was born in Warsaw, Poland. In 1944 he was arrested in German-occupied Warsaw by the Gestapo and was sent to a German labour camp. After the war, he graduated from the University of London. He lives in Reading, Pennsylvania.
