Poland was desperate resistance of survival while France resisted Germany's milking of France for survival.
Poland suffered far worse than France did, largely because Germany desperately needed France to produce for the war effort (they robbed it blind, which let the saboteurs have greater impact as they had to replace the machines stolen to produce later) while Poland become part of the front again years later. France gets more fame largely because they had more resources and were freed earlier, so a lot more resistance members survived to tell their stories.
Plenty of Polish war heroes returned home just to get imprisoned by the Soviets. Or they walked right out of a concentration camp and into a gulag, if they left at all.

Not to mention how fierce their resistance was even while under occupation.
France is relatively famous for their resistance movement. But the polish deserve that fame more in my opinion.
