    Default About the Polish paratroopers ? On D-DAy ?

    Hello gentlemen,
    A friend of mine asks me if there were Polish paratroopers during the Overlord operations ?
    He said that a family says that the grand-father was in Normandy.
    A Special Air Service operation ?
    Would it be possible that a (or several ?) Polish paratrooper(s) has (have) been in Normandy, on 9th June 1944 ?
    I have never read such an information...
    Thank you in advance for your help and answers.
    Best regards.

    Hello.
    Do you have the name or other details?
    There was one Polish officer serving under British command in Glider Pilot Regiment who took a part in glider ops in Normandy (his name was Jerzy Rostworowski).
    There was also another Polish officer from 1st Parachute Brigade who took a part in airborne operation in France with British 2nd Parachute Brigade. I don't remember his name at this moment. Will have to check it.
    Greetings
