The Smiling Warrior
For this weeks blog post I came across a very interesting article about Private Wojtek and the 22nd artillery supply company in the polish army. Private Wojtek was a bear that the 22nd artillery company found as a cub and raised him as a pet once Wojtek was fully grown they used him in war to run artillery where men couldn't. Private Wojtek and the 22nd ran ammo during the Battle of Monte Cassino and helped tip the scales in the Polish's favor and in the end the Polish won the war. I think this is an awesome story and that if it wasn't for Private Wojtek and the 22nd that the Polish would not have won the battle. http://www.cracked.com/article_18550_5-true-war-stories-that-put-every-action-movie-to-shame_p2.html
