Absolutely true.
The poles fought very very hard.
And even after Poland fell, the free polish fighter squadrons in Britain continued to fight, in fact, of all the WW2 squadrons, they had the highest kill ratios, and were known to be incredibly vicious fighters.
Unlike the Brits, the Poles who even try to shoot the German pilots who had bailed out. Take no prisoners as it were.
