The headline is fine, but why are there Polish soldiers in the photo? Author, look closely. The photo shows several men in traditional Polish military uniforms.

I don't have an eye for uniforms, so I can't comment on whether they're Polish soldiers. I got it from here.

The postwar Polish government was a creature of the Soviets, though, and quite nakedly so.
The origin of this photo is also easily found on the Internet. Google photo search tells us the following: this is the deportation of Ukrainians by the Polish army from Bialystok region, which after the Second World War went to Poland.
