This make two times in the twentieth century that one or a few brave Poles helped save the west. The first was their giving British intelligence a copy of the German Enigma cypher machine. That led to the British (and we) being able to read most of the highest level Nazi military communications throughout the war (the Ultra Secret). If you add in the defeat of the Ottoman Turk's at Vienna in 1683 the west owes Poland more than can possibly be repaid.

It seems to me that during the 1960's another polish colonel assigned as intel liaison to the Group of Soviet Forces in Germany and the DDR also provided a large quantity of high grade intelligence to the US. I think he was sprung from Berlin by the CIA when the Soviet counterintelligence types were closing in. I think his name was Golenowski or something like that. He died back in the 19705 time frame in exile in the UK. Can you provide anything more on this hero of the Cold War?

Yes, indeed. And FDR, knowing this still "gave" them to Uncle Joe. Traitor.
