Voytek, the Soldier Bear

[Walt's Daughter]

Imagine this...I wake up this morning and my husband is visiting his WWII gaming forum. He says, you gotta see this. There's a question posted there which states, "Who was the strongest Polish soldier at Monte Cassino, and why was he so different from everyone else?"

 

Hmmm. Well obviously I don't know the answer to that question, but I tell him a few of my WWII buddies talked about the Polish soldiers at Monte Cassino.

 

So he scrolls down and there's this picture of a BEAR. Yes, you read that right - A BEAR!

 

Of course I have to look it up now, for I am very, very curious. Here's the scoop from a few websites I checked out.
