If my world history memory serves me correctly, the United States, France, England, and eventually the Soviet Union (with the battle of Stalingrad) allied to defeat him. Poland's freedom was protected by an aliance of "free" countries that came to their aide, and the US was one of them... once again... trying to stop an evil dictator.
First off we did not use ****ing farm tools to fight off Hitler's army. We had a military but it was quickly crushed. Later we had an underground resistance. As far as the allies you speak of they didn't do a whole lot to help Poland out. Before the invasion we had a packt with the UK and France that if Poland was invaded by Hitler then they would immediately jump in. Well they spread out pamplets telling the world that hitler shouldn't have done what he did. It wasn't until later that they realised that Hitler wants more than Poland. As far as the ****ing Soviets go than the story of betrayal is even worst. They secretely had a peace packt with Hitler and drove their "freedom" army through half of Poland and shook hands with Hitler to our dissmay. Later when Hitler screwed them over the Soviets agreed to help us overthrow the Nazis. We schedueled a fight for Warsaw and when the uprising began the Soviet forces srayed put waiting for the remaining Polish army to be slaughtered. The goal was to have a completely defensless Poland after Hitler was pushed out.
The finall allied punch came during the Yalta conference where our great friends USA and GB gave us away to the Soviets. They knew well that the Soviets weren't good, but they simply didn't care to argue with Stalin, who is a greater killer then Hitler!!!!!!! So now you see that you don't have to tell me about freedom. Poland recieved ours on our own. We were the first country to abolish communism and we have the second oldest democratic constitution (usa having the longest) that is still in use.
