The event marks the centenary of the Battle of Warsaw and the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Britain.
The exhibits include reproductions of posters dating from the war with the Bolsheviks, and photos of Polish General Józef Haller and French General Charles de Gaulle.
The latter served with the staff of the French Military Mission to Poland as an instructor of Poland’s infantry during its war with Soviet Russia, distinguished himself in operations near the River Zbrucz, and won Poland's highest military decoration, the Virtuti Militari.
The exhibition also features photographs of Polish airmen – members of the famous No.303 Kościuszko Squadron, which claimed the highest number of “kills” of all the squadrons fighting in the skies over Britain in 1940.
Polish pilots accounted for five percent of the RAF’s front-line strength in the struggle.
Prominently displayed is a quotation from Winston Churchill’s speech on August 20, 1940, in which he praised Polish airmen: “Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.”
The Permanent Representation of Poland to the European Union is located at Rue Stevin, close to several other EU embassies and not far from the headquarters of the European Commission and the European Council.
