You are right Mark, but it can be terribly frustrating.? The British particularly have been culprits at presenting historical facts to their advantage, even taking full credit where others have played the major role.? Bletchley Park and the decoding of the Enigma?is an example of this.? However, I have noticed on their website that they are now showing the Polish contribution?and taking some of the limelight away from Bletchley.?

Not to be negative or to excuse, but usually with historical accounts, you can tell who the hero is going to be by checking first where the writer?comes from.

Yes, exactly it should be interesting to see whether the Polish army will get its due credit in this film.? There have been programmes on TV in the past where they've spent almost an hour talking about Monte Cassino and?no one would even?know that the Poles had taken part in the battle.? I've had to send letters/emails of complaint for the total disregard of our soldiers.?
