Talk:Polish Haitians

Limited historical data and complex historiography
Trying to work a little more on this page, but there is much disagreement among historical sources as to the details (what proportion of Polish troops actually defected? What were their main reasons for doing so?). The historiography of Polish Haitians is fascinating, too. Why was it precisely their story which was remembered and mythologized whereas that of Germans (who were also mentioned in the Haitian constitution) was not? I would love to expand on all of this in the article, but am struggling to find good sources which discuss those matters. Any ideas on where to look further?

Removed Polish as language
Although the original Legionnaires spoke Polish, it is unlikely that the language has survived to the present. Deleted it - they speak Kreyol and French, the latter if educated.Parkwells (talk) 22:50, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

Cazale massacre
This article mentions the 20th century massacre in Cazale, but the source is rotten, and I haven't seen any evidence that Polish Haitians were the victims of this massacre. Michael Deiber mentions this event on page 22 of Haiti Will Not Perish: A Recent History but lists only French surnames among the families massacred. Since the source given (HaitiMega.com) is both unreliable and rotted, and Deiber mentions nothing about the Poles in relation to the massacre, and because the Wiki content itself doesn't link them, I've decided to remove the content.
