Then I suppose all those Indians, British, Americans, Kiwis and Free Poilus were doing nothing at Cassino, whilst they use the poor Poles as cannon fodder.

The fact is that at the time when the Poles took the ruins of the abbey, the Allies had broken the front at the Liri valley and the entire German line was pulling out.

The Poles were very skilled and very brave, but I don't think they could have succeeded at the time and circumstances that the 4th Indian division had taken.
