Dennis Unknown

Polish Air Force 300 Sqd.

A number of years ago I knew a gentleman known as Dennis the Pole. He had escaped the German occupation of his homeland, made his way to Britain by circuitous means, and eventually becoming a navigator on 300 Masovian Squadron in Lancasters flying out of RAF Faldingworth. Dennis never really talked much about his wartime service to anyone, although he did discuss some things with me - like getting lost for several hours and landing very short of fuel. However one evening in the late 70's I was sharing a pint with Dennis when in came my cousin, himself very interested in bomber command history. Knowing that Dennis had been in 5 group bomber command asked what did you do in the war, Dennis replied "I made car parks in Germany" and quietly carried on drinking his pint. Great understatement from a man that saw much.
