Not at all, the Polish 2nd Corp was in the peninsula. The Poles were fighting at Monte Cassino and actually were the first to enter the abbey (raising the Polish flag there). However, unlike what you can find somewhere on the Web, they didn't take it all by themselves (still they had lost around 4000 men in the battle).

The French army did brake the stalemate. Again, the French army doesn't mean the French but mostly the Moroccans and Algerians fighting under French colors.
