-The lives of many of Poland’s National Team were affected by the Second World War.

Gerard Wodarz (August 10, 1913- November 8, 1982) signed the German Nationality List (Volksliste) after the German Invasion and Occupation in 1939.

He was mobilized by the German Army in 1941. He was captured in 1944 by the American Army. He was transferred to the Polish Forces of the West.

Jan Karol Wasiewicz (January 6, 1911-November 9, 1976) fought for Poland after the German Invasion in 1939. He escaped to Hungary and eventually made his way to England. He joined Poland’s Western Forces and fought later in the ‘1st Polish Infantry Battalion’. He would move to England after the war and in 1949 to Argentina for the rest of his life.

Fryderyk Egon Scherfke (Szerfke) (September 7, 1909-September 15, 1983), as an ethnic German, was mobilized by the German Army in 1940.

He was sent to the Eastern Front in 1943 and then to Yugoslavia, where he was wounded in January 1945. He was captured by the British and then released on July 25^th, 1945. He settled in West Germany after his release.

Poland goalkeeper Edward Madejski (August 11, 1914-February 15, 1996) was not registered to any club during the World Cup. He was banned by the Polish League due to a scandal related to his transfer from Wisla Krakow to Gerbarnia Krakow.

During the War he was involved in a number of illegal Soccer tournaments that had been banned by the Germans. He was arrested by the Gestapo and was actually on death row for some time.

In 1956, the Polish Communist Government would arrest him for espionage and sabotage. He would be imprisoned for three years. After many years he would be exonerated.

Edward Dytko (October 18, 1914-June 13, 1993), as an ethnic German signed the German Nationality List (Volksliste). He was mobilized by the German Army in 1942. He was captured by the American Army in 1944. He returned to Poland after the War, but was initially regarded as a traitor by the new Polish Communist Government.

He was cleared after signing the declaration of loyalty to the Polish state.

Wilhelm Antoni Góra (January 18, 1916-May 21, 1975), as an ethnic German, signed the German Nationality List (Volksliste).

He was mobilized by the German Army and transferred to Italy, where he was captured by the Allied Army. He would join the 2^nd Corps of the Polish Army.

He remained in West Germany after the War.

Antoni Gałecki (June 4, 1906-December 14, 1958) was captured by the Germans in the beginning of the War. He escaped and made his way to Palestine and joined the Polish 2^nd Corps. He would fight in the war and afterwards return to Poland.
