Thereafter. and without delay. a new constitutional government in exile began to organize new Polish armed forces outside of Poland. Its appeal was answered by a total of about 60.000 Polish soldiers who succeeded in escaping from Poland and internment camps in Rumania and Hungary. Augmented by Polish immigrants in France and by volunteers from all over the world. by May 1940 the new Polish armed forces in France numbered 80.000 trained men. These men distinguished themselves on the Maginot line. in Alsace. in Libya. and in Italy. Their pilots. fighting as a part of the Royal Air Force. were unexcelled.
