Ch4 The Untold Battle of Britain HDTV x264 AC3 MVGroup 2010

This dramatised documentary recounts how, during the most decisive phase of the Battle of the
Britain, a single squadron of 34 Polish fighter pilots wreaked havoc on the Luftwaffe, in the
process helping to change the course of history and overturning RAF prejudices.

From 303 Squadron's bitter struggle for acceptance when they first arrived in the UK, to the crucial
part they played in averting the German invasion, and their ultimate betrayal by the Allies, this
unknown story is one of the most extraordinary episodes of World War II.

Based on a diary kept by the pilots of the squadron, it is a story of increasing frustration on the
part of the Poles who had already fought the Luftwaffe and now found themselves having to learn
English and the RAF way of doing things. Meanwhile, as the Battle of Britain got underway,
inexperienced British pilots were paying a heavy cost.

Belatedly, the Poles were cleared for active service and had an immediate impact. In their first
week they shot down 40 enemy aircraft, making them the highest scoring RAF squadron. By the time the
Battle of Britain was won, they had claimed 126 enemy planes. But as the war ended, their joy turned
to despair as they saw their own country handed to Stalin.

There's 4 episodes in the Bloody Foreigners series on Channel 4. Only the first 2 episodes were
repeated recently. I'll try and get the missing 2 episodes when they become available.

This one needs watching, first rate and shows man off in his real light, if you were Polish you got
used and dumped on, if you were British you used something that made a real difference and then sold
it out.
