Stanislaw Maczek
Stanislaw Wladyslaw Maczek was a Polish general who commanded the only motorized division of the Polish army at the beginning of the Second World War. After the fall of Poland, he escaped to France where he established a new motorized division. After the downfall of France, he founded the First Polish armoured division in Great Britain, contributing greatly to the allied victory in Western Europe. Maczek was very popular with his men and was honoured by the French, Belgian and Dutch population, although he was rather underestimated by his Allied combatants.

Stanislaw Sosabowsky
Stanislaw Franciszek Sosabowski would become one of the most well-known Polish militaries in history. Famous and reviled. Famous because of his flight from Poland and his immaculate career, but reviled because he dared to give his opinion. At the end of WWII he was sacrificed for the "failure" of operation Market Garden. The well-deserved recognition would not come until many years later.

Wladyslaw Sikorski
Wladyslaw Sikorski, a veteran of the First World war, the Polish-Ukrainian war (1918-1919) and the Polish-Soviet war (1919-21) was between September 1939 and July 1943 the Prime Minister of the Polish government-in-exile in London and supreme commander of the Polish forces in the West. He revived the Polish army, which was in ruins and also took great pains to strengthen the Polish position within the Allied powers. Wladyslaw Sikorski lost his life on the fourth of July, 1943 in a plane crash in Gibraltar. To this day there are still many question marks about the background and cause of this accident.
