Well, at least the scum Brits didn't turn them over to the Soviets, unlike the Cossacks the Brits fed to the Russians in Eastern Europe.
How the Poles were treated after the war by the “allies” was a travesty.
Felton’s videos are fantastic.
I can’t imagine how he does his research or where he finds information, but he produces fascinating bits of history.
That's not a Limey Bug, It's a Feature the Limeys have always had.
Yup. I like Felton’s YouTube channel a great deal. Lots of really good content, well done. Have you read any of his books? I’ve been thinking about buying one. I hope they are a good read.

Great Britain sent both the Polish and Czech pilots back to their respective countries where some of them were executed.
Not to mention Operation Keelhaul.
Love my Jags!
The West not only betrayed Draža Mihailović, but they also betrayed anti-Hitler German aristocrats who plotted to assassinate the Fuehrer!!!!
True!
