Boom Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 A truly impressive man. Experienced true horror at the hands of the Communists in Poland upon his return in 1947. Whilst imprisoned wrote his memoirs in 1953. Well worth a read. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
