Question is in the title. I remember hearing Churchill commanding a French ship be sank because it was in control of the Germans. Why would French commanders not send more things to Britain but maybe I'm getting ahead of myself because the question is did they I suppose.
I also remember hearing about Polish pilots or other pilots from countries beaten by Germany going to Britain. Why did they go to Britain and not France when it was resisting? Why did they send people and materials to Britain and France retained some?
I am fully aware that I made some logical leaps in my questions and I am assuming some things so any answers would be great. Thank you!
I believe there were several thousand French soldiers that were evacuated at Dunkirk, along with spatterings of other allied troops from different nations.
Re Poland, Im not sure about the reasoning but there was a fairly famous Polish regiment and their actual bear (Wojek?) that were based in England. After the war ended the bear lived out the rest of his days in Edinburgh zoo
