fallen pilots and prisoners, and interfere with the transport of reinforcements in preparation for D-Day activities, - identify sites for the parachuting of technicians and matėriel. Pomorski crossed the green border to France many times and thanks to the presence of Poles on both sides of the border and through their joint efforts, P.O.W.N. identified 182 underground launchpads for missiles V1 and V2 (all directed towards London) of which 163 were destroyed by Allies. Another line of such launchpads was discovered along the Belgian-Dutch border. Sabotage technicians were sent from London but their activities were called off, leaving Liège exposed to V1 missiles for three months while the Allies were blocked in the Ardennes. During the war years, Pomorski supported his family by teaching Russian in a business school in Liège, Belgium. Postwar years As Belgium was liberated in September 1944, Pomorski, as sole representative of the Polish emigration, took charge of the consulate in Brussels. P.O,W,N. enlisted volunteers to join the Polish Military Forces in London. On October 5, 1944, 800 men left Belgium. As both diplomats arrived from London, Pomorski became Cultural Attachė and nominated ==School Inspector== by the Government in exile. This meant rebuilding a network of Polish schools, but also implementing a rudimentary schooling system inside the deportation camps in Germany where many families, unwilling to return to Poland, were waiting for a chance to emigrate. The recognition of Communist Poland in 1947 left Pomorski and his family in a precarious position. The Warsaw government put pressure on Pomorski to ensure that, should he stay with them, he would use his influential position within the emigration to promote their ideology. If not, he would not be allowed to return to Poland. So, Pomorski reworked his thesis, and obtained his doctorate in Slavic History and Literature from the Free University of Brussels (1951). Over the next 40 years, he developed a translation office where he was translating himself in 12 languages and several dialects. He was elected by his peers president of the Order of Translators of Belgium. Social, educational, political involvement After the phase of armed resistance, P.O.W.N. had to redefine its objectives since it was originally created as a military organization. P.O.W.N. designated a General Committee of Fight for Independence on May 14, 1945, with Pomorski as commander for 6 months. It was later transformed into ==the Union of Poles in Belgium== (Związek Polaków w
