Sikorski's tourists ((ポーランド語:turyści Sikorskiego)) refers to the thousands of Poles who escaped occupied Poland, following the country's defeat in September 1939, and found their way to France and the United Kingdom, to enlist in the reformed Polish Army under the Western Allies. ==Term origins== The term "Sikorski's tourists" was originally coined by German propaganda.〔〔 Later on, the term was used by others such as British King George VI〔 and the Poles themselves.〔〔 Władysław Sikorski was the commander in chief of the Polish Armed Forces in the West.〔 The tourism part refers to the fact that to join Sikorski's new force in France, the volunteers couldn't take the direct route (through Germany), and instead had to embark on long trips through neutral countries, usually in the Balkans and then around the Mediterranean basin.〔 A book ''Turyści Sikorskiego: dalsze dzieje Jurija Dąbskiego'' by Alfons Jacewicz was published in London in 1965.〔
