Zygmunt Włodarczyk

“After general de Gaulle’s speech in 1940 we’ve stood up and wanted to fight. Our Polish parents knew what was going on in Warsaw. Their patriotism have influenced us a lot. I believe it isn’t any other like that in the whole world. Only Poles are this patriotic. We have joined the resistance movement. We’ve had a very tough and challenging tasks. We were involved in sabotages. When allied forces landed on the beaches of Normandy we were at the back putting down bridges, train tracks. I clearly remember these tough tasks, but we stood up and done them with head held high.”
