Marshal of Poland Totally Explained

Everything about Marshal Of Poland totally explained

Marshal of Poland (Marszałek Polski) is the highest rank in the Polish Army. It has been granted to only six officers. At present, this rank is equivalent to a Field Marshal or General of the Army (OF-10) in other NATO armies.
There are today no living Marshals of Poland, since this rank is bestowed only on military commanders who have achieved victory in war. Recently, however, the rank of four-star Generał has been introduced, and on August 15, 2002, was granted to Czesław Piątas, Chief of the General Staff of the Polish Army.

1920 - Józef Piłsudski (1867-1935)
