I just thought of a nickname for hostile Polish troops: "'Ski". It comes from the perception that "-ski" is a common suffix for Polish surnames. It's kind of like Ivan, in that sense.

Example:

"Our patrol got ambushed by a platoon of 'Skis about two klicks outside of Wrolclaw."

It fairly rolls off the tongue.
