Tony,
I certainly believe you, the Polish are busy to put things right concerning what their coutrymen did during the war, but what has been disregarded for many decades for political reasons.
For many years they neglected to do anything to acquire historic objects or commemorate those who fell for their country while fighting elswhere.
Personally I am involved with the recovery of a former Polish crewed RAF Lancaster in the IJsselmeer as I have mentioned before.
The Polish gouvernment is very actively involved in this and the Polish Consul told me that they will do anthing to highlight this part of history which has been supressed for so many years. They want the Polish public to know what their fellow countrymen did and what sacrifices they made.
But then again the same is true for the Germans as you so rightly state. But politicians always seem to be in the way.
