Description: From Buzuluk to Monte Cassino Illustrated history of Polish Independent Carpathian Rifle Brigadeand 2nd Polish Corps Language - Polish-EnglishYear of publication - 2009Cover - SoftcoverPages - 158, richly illustrated, pictures on every page (except the first 4), high quality paperCondition - NewDimension - 21 x 29.5 cmWeight - 0.73 kg The album ‘From Buzuluk to Monte Cassino’ is an illustrated history of the Polish Army in the USSR, the Polish Army in the East, the Independent ‘Carpathian’ Rifle Brigade and the Polish 2nd Corps. It is often overlooked that those were ex-gulag inmates who were the cadre of the 2nd Corps that subsequently fought at Monte Cassino. Fates of the soldiers of the Independent ‘Carpathian’ Rifle Brigade were quite different. After the 1939 campaign most of them escaped from internment camps in Hungary and Rumania, and were transferred to the Middle East. After the defeat of France the brigade moved to British territory. In August 1941 it was transferred to Tobruk, encircled by Italian and German troops. In those combats it wrote another glorious page in the history of the Polish Army. Soldiers of the Polish campaign, of the Battle of France and of the African campaign, and prisoners of gulag camps became the soldiers of the Polish 2nd Corps. It was my aim to tell the readers about little known parts of the history of the Polish Armed Forces in the West, and particularly of the combats of the 2nd Corps in the fourth battle of Monte Cassino. This album is a homage to all soldiers of the 2nd Corps fighting in the battle of Monte Cassino.
