      Hello Ze-Pole


      It is indeed a very famous regiment of the polish free forces, of Gen Maczek
      They did a tremendous job over here and in Ruiselede aswel. Also called
      "" petit chambois "",because of the ruined verhicles that where buldozer'd away to speed up the advance ! The Poles did captured in total 13 offrs and 1478 or's.

      destroyed ore captured

      5. 76.2mm A Tk guns
      2. 75mm A Tk guns
      6. Fd arty guns
      4. 81 mm mortars
      21 . different mot. verhicles


      Towards Aalter and by so they past ruiselede according org. doc's for they destroid .

      2. mk IV tanks
