Nobody deserves it more! A Polish pilot was awarded a medal for shooting down a German bomber over Plymouth during the blitz - he was also reprimanded for flying between the barrage balloons to do so!

Many people now know of the vast contribution to the Allied war effort made by the Bletchley Park codebreakers but few know that it was actually the Polish Military Intelligence that first broke the Enigma machine.
Before the start of the war the Germans sent an Enigma to their Embassy in Poland - they sent it by post! It arrived in the Polish sorting office on a Friday and was intercepted by the Military Intelligence Unit who had two full days to dismantle it, take photographs of all the parts and internal wiring and then put it all back together and deliver it to the German Embassy on Monday morning. The Poles passed the information they learned to the British and French and after the German invasion in September 1939 about half of the Intelligence personnel managed to escape and get to Britain. The other half were captured and tortured for what they knew - not one of them gave anything away.
Without the head start given to us by those brave heroes WW2 would have been a lot longer and far more costly in lives.
