43 and 44? What troops in the Holy Land?
Who supported them? Britain, Russia, Germany?
Free Polish troops from ??

Very, very few Polish troops were left alive by either the Russian invasion of the east half, or the German invation of the west half of Poland.

A few Polish airmen got out, but very few, between Sept-Oct 39 and April-May 40 when the lowlands were invaded.

A fair number of Polish civilians made it to Britain, and some of those created a “Free Polish Army”.

It was a Polish Corps that finally succeeded in taking Monte Cassino. A Polish airborne brigade was the last unit that parachuted into Arnhem in Operation Market-Garden, although that’s a subject best not discussed with the Poles.
