Hi Eugene
My comments of last night about anti-semitism in the Anders Army were
based on writers who were not concerned with the day to day
operations in a military unit. They cited complaints by people who
claimed that they had been subject to abuse. They mentioned the fact
that most Jews that deserted in Palestine.
After reading the responses to my comments of last night I believe
I need to have a better understanding of the history of the Anders
Army and look forward to reading your book and the one by Sarner.
Did you know a George Bachinsky in Italy? I worked him about
thirty years ago. He mentioned his ordeal in the USSR and service
in Italy with the Polish Army.

Dear Barney,
My name is Eugene Lachocki and I was in Gen. Anders Army for 5
years.
I never heard or witnessed any mistreatment of Jews. In fact, we
had two
Jewish very efficient transportation companies delivering necessary
ammunition and
other articles required at the front. Several Jews were in my 11th
Signal
Corps unit. All Jews came with us from USSR as Polish citizens and
some of them
after the war came here to USA. They are my good friends.
Unfortunately, there were some cases in our unit, when Jewish
soldiers
were steeling arms and escaping to Palestine to fight British
occupation. Our
military police closed their ayes and didn't look for deserters.
You should read my book "NO RETURN" and learn about the II
World War in
Italy.
Z uszanowaniem,
