  • Polish Contribution to World War II - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia 12/18/15, 12:45 AM Polish Contribution to World War II from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Polish contribution to World War II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 12/18/15, 12:45 AM Polish contribution to World War II From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The European theatre of World War II opened with the German invasion of Poland on Friday September 1, 1939 and the Soviet Polish contribution to World invasion of Poland on September 17, 1939. The Polish Army War II was defeated after more than a month of fighting. After Poland had been overrun, a government-in-exile (headquartered in Britain), armed forces, and an intelligence service were established outside of Poland. These organizations contributed to the Allied effort throughout the war. The Polish Army was recreated in the West, as well as in the East (after the German invasion of the Soviet Union). Poles provided crucial help to the Allies throughout the war, fighting on land, sea and air. Notable was the service of the Polish Air Force, not only in the Allied victory in the Battle of Britain but also the subsequent air war. Polish ground troops The personnel of submarine were present in the North Africa Campaign (siege of Tobruk); ORP Sokół displaying a Jolly the Italian campaign (including the capture of the monastery hill Roger marking, among others, at the Battle of Monte Cassino); and in battles following the the number of sunk or damaged invasion of France (the battle of the Falaise pocket; an airborne ships brigade parachute drop during Operation Market Garden and one division in the Western Allied invasion of Germany). Polish forces in the east, fighting alongside the Red army and under Soviet command, took part in the Soviet offensives across Belarus and Ukraine into Poland, across the Vistula and towards the Oder and then into Berlin.

  • Monitoring of Underwater Archaeological Sites with the Use of 3D Photogrammetry and Legacy Data Case Study: HMS Maori (Malta)
    Monitoring of Underwater Archaeological Sites with the use of 3D Photogrammetry and Legacy Data Case study: HMS Maori (Malta) By Djordje Cvetkovic Monitoring of Underwater Archaeological Sites with the use of 3D Photogrammetry and Legacy Data Case study: HMS Maori (Malta) Author: Djordje Cvetkovic Supervisors: Dr Timmy Gambin Dr Kotaro Yamafune Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Global Maritime Archaeology Word Count: 25,499 words Department of Classics and Archaeology University of Malta March, 2020 Abstract A photogrammetric survey has proven to be a reliable method for documenting underwater archaeological sites. Still, the potential which photogrammetry could have in the monitoring of underwater cultural heritage has been just briefly discussed in the past. The purpose of this dissertation is to test if a cost-effective and time-efficient monitoring scheme can be created, for a modern shipwreck site such as HMS Maori, by using photogrammetry and legacy data. The credibility of legacy data (old video footage) was explored, alongside software capable of producing deviation analysis (Cloud Compare). Some of the key findings of this research confirmed that it is possible to geo-reference and extract information from legacy data 3D models by using the method of ‘common points’ (PhotoScan/Metashape). Also, a comparative study confirmed that deviation analysis could generate quantitative data of an underwater archaeological site. This research demonstrated that a reliable monitoring scheme could be constructed with the help of legacy data and deviation analysis. The application of this methodology provided a better understanding of the change that is continuously happening at the shipwreck site of HMS Maori.

Whilst squarely directed towards defining “Global Britain’s” strategic relationship with the rest of the world, the review’s conclusions contain much of relevance to other western democ- racies struggling to chart a course against the backdrop of a fast-changing world order. Moreover, both documents provide some insights into the political and technological factors that will influence future global maritime developments.

  • ORP Piorun 1944
    ‘N’ Class Fleet Destroyer ORP Piorun (HMS Noble) 1944 Resin & Photo Etched Metal Kit in 1/350 scale History Laid down on 25th July 1939 at John Browns Shipbuilding and Engineering Company, Clydebank, Scotland, she was built and launched on 7th May 1940 as HMS Nerissa. When she was completed, she was handed over to the Polish Navy and commissioned on 4th November 1940 as the ORP PIORUN. With Cdr Plawski in command, Pioruns first few months were spent with the 7th Flotilla and was involved with the search for the Scharnhorst and Gneisenau. Later in May 1941 whilst attached to the 4th Flotilla under Captain Vian in the Cossack, orders were given to seek out and chase the German Battleship Bismarck after it had broken out into the Atlantic and sunk the pride of the Royal Navy, HMS Hood. Due to bad weather, Piorun lost contact with the rest of the Flotilla, but found the Bismarck and engaged with her 4.7 inch guns. Several hits were scored and the ships traded shots for 59 minutes, with Piorun transmitting radio reports until the Flotilla arrived. A torpedo attack was then carried out by the Flotilla which was unsuccessful. Piorun was then ordered to return to Plymouth as she was low on fuel, and played no further part in that action. Throughout 1942 Piorun was involved in the escorting of the North Atlantic convoys, during which she located and gave chase to several U Boats. 1943 She was transferred to the Mediterranean for the Malta convoys and the landings on Sicily.

    ‘Polish Naval Academy’ written by Professor Dariusz Nawrot „Akademia Marynarki Wojennej - Zarys Dziejów 1922 - 2012.” Pages 49-63, translated from Polish by Jolanta Wilson On 24 August 1939, as the German invasion of Poland became a concrete threat, the Chief of the Polish Naval Authority (KMW) - Rear Admiral Jerzy Swirski – ordered the immediate return of all Officer Cadets and candidates from their training placements, some of which were on the Baltic coast, to Bydgoszcz where the Naval Warrant Officers School (SPMW) was located. Only eighteen Senior Cadets of the Maritime Faculty remained on the Baltic coast, as they received their assignments to serve on fleet ships. Six days later, on 30 August, six Officer Cadets from that group left Gdynia aboard the destroyers ORP Burza, ORP Blyskawica and ORP Grom, which, in accordance with the “Peking Operational Plan”, were ordered to sail to Great Britain to assist the British Navy in the event of war. Seven days after returning to Bydgoszcz the Officer Cadets and candidates set off on the road again, the outbreak of war having forced the Commander of the 8th Corps HQ to order the immediate evacuation of the whole of the Naval Warrant Officers School to Pinsk. The first two transports, with staff and teaching aids, left Bydgoszcz on 1 September, and the following day the next transport set off with the equipment. On 3 September, at ten o’clock, the School Commandant, Captain Tadeusz Podjazd- Morgenstern, was the last to leave, after handing over the premises of the Naval Warrant Officers School to a representative of Bydgoszcz City Board.

  • The Origins and Significance of Gerald S. Graham's “Convoy Diary,”
    The Origins and Significance of Gerald S. Graham’s “Convoy Diary,” 1942 Samuel McLean and Roger Sarty L’article suivant compare le récit « Convoy Diary », publié en temps de guerre par l’historien canadien Gerald Graham, à la version originale du ’appuie. À l’aide d’autres sources traitant du convoi et de la carrière de Graham, l’analyse conclut que les deux récits sont des comptes rendus fidèles des opérations navales, qui révèlent les réactions émotionnelles et intellectuelles de l’historien à la traversée difficile de l’Atlantique Nord. Parallèlement, la censure des informations militaires et la révision approfondie que Graham a lui-même apportée à son texte ont extrait de la version publiée certains des renseignements les plus intéressants sur les opérations de convoi, l’intensité de l’expérience et le rôle important qu’elle a joué dans sa vie. “Convoy Diary,” first published in October 1943, is the intensely personal account by Canadian historian and wartime naval officer Gerald S. Graham (1903- 1988) of his North Atlantic passage home from duty in Britain.1 Graham had sailed as a guest aboard the Royal Navy destroyer HMS Harvester, the senior escort for convoy ON 126 from Liverpool, England to North America. It was a slow convoy and stormy conditions almost brought the struggling ships to a standstill, prolonging the voyage to nearly three weeks, from late August to mid September 1942. The convoy departed at the beginning of what in fact proved to be the most intense part of the struggle against the German submarine fleet, and encountered one of the fierce gales that made the lives of Allied seamen still more miserable during months of weather that was harsh even by North Atlantic standards.
