You could try this as a family history portal

http://www.cyndislist.com/poland.htm

Also google English Polish Family History Society - there are a number of links which may be of use.

If he was in WW2 as a refugee fighter, you may be able to get his military records from the links provided on this page

http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/records/looking-for-person/default.htm

National Archives may also hold Naturalisation papers.

Ancestry have a number of data bases relating to Poland - a number of them in connection to the Holocaust - others written in German. People who have access would be willing to look on there for you.

Hope something here is of use!
