Discover the history of the Polish 1st Armoured Division with this illustrated two-volume digital collection. Combining historical photographs, documents and detailed commentary, these PDF eBooks pair a broad account of the division’s journey with a focused study of its fighting in Normandy during August 1944.

Volume 1: Images of the Polish 1st Armoured Division 1939–47, by Janusz Jarzembowski, draws largely on the personal archive of his father, WO1 Alexander Leon ‘Manka’ Jarzembowski, a veteran of the 2nd Armoured Regiment. Approximately 250 photographs and associated material trace the story from the invasion of Poland and the French campaign to arrival in Britain, the division’s formation and its campaigns across North-West Europe. The collection follows the advance through France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany, concluding with divisional parades before disbandment in 1947. Annotated images of uniforms, equipment and armoured vehicles provide valuable reference material alongside a personal record of service.

Volume 2: Images of the 1st Polish Armoured Division – Normandy August 1944, by Janusz Jarzembowski and David T Bradley, examines the division’s first combat operations in Normandy. It follows Operations Totalise and Tractable through the fighting at Falaise to the climactic battle on Mont Ormel. Contributions from Normandy veteran and author Ken Tout add an eyewitness perspective, while photographs and documents from the Polish Institute and Sikorski Museum and the author’s collection illuminate the campaign. Colour artwork depicts armour, uniforms and battlefield action, including Peter Dennis’s reconstruction of close-quarter fighting on Mont Ormel.

Together, these PDF eBooks offer a detailed visual collection for Second World War readers, armour enthusiasts, military modellers and families interested in the experiences of Polish servicemen.
