First formed after Poland regained independence following World War I, it consisted of a small group of American volunteers independent of the U.S. State Department or the American Expeditionary Force in Europe.[1] One of the most famous pilots was Merian C. Cooper, producer of the 1933 movie King Kong, who was decorated for valor by Polish commander-in-chief Józef Piłsudski with the highest Polish military decoration, the Virtuti Militari.

During WW II the Kościuszko Squadron[2] was formed by refugee Polish pilots who joined the RAF and played an essential role in helping save Britain during the Battle of Britain.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tadeusz_Ko%C5%9Bciuszko
On learning of the American Revolution, Kościuszko, himself a man of revolutionary aspirations, sympathetic to the American cause and an advocate of human rights, sailed for America in June 1776 along with other foreign officers. On August 30, 1776, Kościuszko submitted an application to the Second Continental Congress; he was assigned to the Continental Army the next day.
In March 1778 Kościuszko arrived at West Point, New York, and spent more than two years[39] strengthening the fortifications and improving the stronghold's defenses.[40][41] It was these defenses that the American General Benedict Arnold subsequently attempted to surrender to the British when he became a traitor.[42] Soon after Kościuszko had finished fortifying West Point, in August 1780, General George Washington granted Kościuszko's request to transfer to combat duty with the Southern Army. Kościuszko's West Point fortifications would be widely praised as innovative for the time.[43][44]
>Kościuszko
At the Battle of Dubienka (July 18, 1792) Kościuszko repulsed a numerically superior enemy, skilfully using terrain obstacles and field fortifications, and came to be regarded as one of Poland's most brilliant military commanders of the age.[70] With some 5,300 men, he defeated 25,000 Russians led by General Michail Kachovski.[73] Despite the tactical victory, Kościuszko had to retreat from Dubienka, as the Russians crossed the nearby Austrian border and began flanking his positions.[73]
After the battle, King Stanisław August Poniatowski promoted Kościuszko to lieutenant-general and also offered him the Order of the White Eagle, but Kościuszko, a convinced republican would not accept a royal honor.[74][75] News of Kościuszko's victory spread over Europe, and on August 26 he received the honorary citizenship of France from the Legislative Assembly of revolutionary France.
>Battle of Dubienka (July 18, 1792)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Dubienka
Although the Russians had a numerical advantage of 5:1 over the Polish defenders, their attacks were stymied by field fortifications raised by the Poles, leading to a Polish tactical victory. Subsequent Russian flanking forced the Poles to retreat to avoid being encircled.
When the Russian army invaded Poland in May 1792, they had a nearly 3:1 numerical advantage, forcing the Polish forces to retreat. General Tadeusz Kościuszko has been tasked with commanding the rear guard and delaying the Russian advance.[3] The Bug river was the last natural obstacle before the Russian army and the Polish capital of Warsaw, about 250 km away.[3] Kościuszko had been tasked by the Polish commander-in-chief, Prince Józef Poniatowski, with stopping a much larger Russian army attempting to cross the river near the village of Dubienka.[1]
Kościuszko, an experienced engineer who had only recently designed the fortifications of West Point in the United States, had to secure the Bug at about 50 km of its length, on one end touching the Austrian border.[1] He chose an advantageous position, protected by dense forests and swamps, and ordered construction of field fortifications, underwater traps, as well as burning of a nearby bridge.[1]
Around 15:00 on 18 July the Russians reached the river, and attempted to cross it in small boats near the burned bridge, while another part of their forces crossed in the north.[1] The initial Russian attack got bogged down in difficult terrain, and they took heavy casualties from the Polish artillery, while their own was less effective shelling the Polish fortified positions.[1] A Russian cavalry unit made it to the Polish artillery emplacements but were pushed back, and their commanding colonel Palembach killed.[1] After five hours of repeated assaults, the Russians retreated, leaving about 4,000 dead.[1] The Poles took about 900 casualties, mostly from the Russian artillery fire.[1]
After nightfall, Polish scouts reported Russians crossing to the south, through neutral Austrian territory.[1] As the Poles were running low on supplies, Kościuszko decided that his army could not withstand a prolonged siege, and ordered a retreat towards Chełm to avoid being encircled.[1]
While Kościuszko was criticized for retreating by some officers, he was rewarded by king Stanisław August Poniatowski with a Virtuti Militari order.[1] He was also praised by his opponent, General Michail Kachovski, who in his official report noted that this was the most difficult battle of the campaign so far.[1] One week after this battle Poland capitulated.
Trapped between two despots The cry for battle calls Soviets at the Vistula The Hun inside the walls Resistance a tradition Poland to be free Finishing oppression Regaining liberty Claiming back their territory Bloodshed for such precious land Withdrawing hated enemy The final struggle is at hand Armia krajowa Patriots mobilised Many unarmed soldiers Weapons improvised National rebellion Expect to last one week Primitive devices Guerrilla techniques Bravery, pride and heroism Honour and determination Against tanks and artillery Dying hard battalions The soviets massacred thousands in Katyn So they know precisely what to expect Decades more of brutal submission Tyrant Stalin stabs them in the back Abandoned by the feeble western allies Responsible for all the brave who died Whilst their brothers freed Monte Cassino They surrendered with their heads up high
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warsaw_Uprising
The Warsaw Uprising was a major World War II operation, in the summer of 1944, by the Polish underground resistance, led by the Home Army (Polish: Armia Krajowa), to liberate Warsaw from German occupation. The uprising was timed to coincide with the retreat of the German forces from Poland ahead of the Soviet advance.[10] While approaching the eastern suburbs of the city, the Red Army temporarily halted combat operations, enabling the Germans to regroup and defeat the Polish resistance and to raze the city in reprisal. The Uprising was fought for 63 days with little outside support. It was the single largest military effort taken by any European resistance movement during World War II.

With this letter, I am formally inviting @AOC to come to Poland,where Adolf Hitler set up the worst chain of concentration camps the world has ever seen, so that she may see that scoring political points with enflamed rhetoric is unacceptable in our contemporary Western societies
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grunwald_Swords
Your Majesty! The Grand Master Ulryk sends you and your brother (…) through us, the deputies standing here, two swords for help so that you, with him and his army, may delay less and may fight more boldly than you have shown, and also that you will not continue hiding and staying in the forest and groves, and will not postpone the battle. And if you believe that you have too little space to form your ranks, the Prussian master Ulryk, to entice you to battle, will withdraw from the plain which he took for his army, as far as you want, or you may instead choose any field of battle so that you do not postpone the battle any longer.
— Grand Master Ulrich von Jungingen's envoys
We accept the swords you send us, and in the name of Christ, before whom all stiff-necked pride must bow, we shall do battle.
— King Władysław II, Letter to Queen Anna of Celje
Where, then, are the two swords of the enemies? They were indeed cut down with those swords with which they tried to terrify the humble! Behold, they sent you two swords, the swords of violence and of pride, and have lost many thousands of them, having been utterly defeated.
— Jan Hus, Letter to King Władysław II, 1411

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bogurodzica
Bogurodzica (Polish pronunciation: [bɔɡurɔˈdʑitsa]; "Mother of God/Theotokos") is the oldest Polish hymn. It was composed somewhere between the 10th and 13th centuries. While the origin of the song is not entirely clear, several scholars agree that Adalbert of Prague is the likely author.[1]
Polish knights sang it as an anthem before the Battle of Grunwald. Bogurodzica also accompanied the coronation ceremonies of the first Jagiellonian kings.
