Post subject: P.O.W.N. - Polish resistance in France
My father was a member of this group during the war, does anyone know where i could get information on it. We still have some of his identification papers from it and my mother thought there was a medal but it was kept by his family, was there a medal given to it's fighters.

Hi,
My cousin Shellie, who is an active member of Polish Origins sent me a link to your post.
I'm living in France and may help you.
What group are you talking about? In which area of France did your fahter fight?
Do you want me to translate the docs you have if they are written in french.
Regards
Andre

Here is a link to the POWN from North of France (Nord- Pas de Calais and Belgium)
You can translate with Google
Maybe the name of your father is listed
