Jim Wald<p>On 5 April 1944, left independent MP (Maldon) Tom Driberg raised the issue of <a href="https://historians.social/tags/antisemitism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>antisemitism</span></a> in the <a href="https://historians.social/tags/Polish" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Polish</span></a> Army in the Uk House of Commons, sparking a controversy that would occupy Parliament &amp; press for months.</p><p>Totally forgotten, this is the subject of my current research<br>4/4</p>
Jim Wald<p>The <a href="https://historians.social/tags/Polish" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Polish</span></a> government ordered an inquiry into the problem, but b/c the questions were irreparably biased &amp; conditions worsened, another 136 soldiers departed in February &amp; secured transfer to UK forces. </p><p>In March UK and PL declared no more transfers would be permitted<br>2/4</p>
Jim Wald<p>So, back to <a href="https://historians.social/tags/WWII" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WWII</span></a> <br>2 Feb. 1944 @JewishChron laconically reported on the origins of a crisis of as yet unrecognized proportions.
