Monuments to the Unknown Soldier in Poland are not only monuments to Soviet, but Polish soldiers who died in the war against fascism. The Polish partisan detachments that participated in the liberation of Poland from German troops acted together with the Soviet partisans and Red Army troops. Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian, and Polish soldiers are buried in mass graves.
The Polish “government in exile”, which was in London during the war years, abandoned its people at a time when the German military machine mercilessly destroyed the population of Poland in concentration camps. And the offense for the fact that after the war the “interim government” could not return to power in Poland was laid on the leadership of the USSR.
An example of a true story about the events of the war years is the fate of Gottfried Grabowski, whose parents died at the hands of the Nazis. Released by the Red Army from forced labor in January 1945, he, as a teenager, joined her ranks and became a soldier in the 49th Army under the command of General I. Grisin. He liberated the cities of Sopot, Gdansk, Kartuz, participated in the release of prisoners of the women’s concentration camp in Buchenwald. Like every year, December 3, Gottfried goes with flowers to the Bialystok cemeteries, where his comrades – Russians and Poles – unknown soldiers, war heroes, are buried in mass graves.
