Commanders' War – GEN. Mr Anders

REMEMBER!!!

– 2 CORPUS POLISH UNDER HIS PRESENTATION has obtained MONTE CASSino

On 18 May 1944, troops of the 2nd Polish Corps, commanded by General Władysław Anders, breaking the German defence captured Monte Cassino, beginning an allied road to Rome.

The Polish triumph celebrated by Ref-Ren in "Red poppies on Monte Cassino" became 1 of the top achievements of the Polish weapon. Gen. Władysław Anders has since been not only the 1 who brought Poles out of the "inhuman land", but besides led them to triumph in the Second planet War.

Władysław Anders (1892-1970) was born in Błoń close Kutna. In 1913 he began serving in the Russian army as a cavalryman. He graduated from the officer's school and took part in the First planet War, and was awarded the Cross of St George for his war deeds.

At the end of the war he moved to the First Polish Corps. He participated in the formation of the 1st Krechowecki Ulan Regiment and was Chief of Staff of the 1st firearm Division.

In late 1918, he became Chief of Staff of the Wielkopolska Army and participated in the Wielkopolska Uprising (1918-1919).

During the Polish-Bolshevik War, he commanded the 15th Poznań Ulan Regiment and was wounded during the fighting.

In the fall of 1921, he enrolled in Paris, at the University of War (École supérieure de guerre), which he graduated in 1924. That year he was promoted to Colonel.

As an excellent rider, he competed in global hippic competitions, winning with his squad in Nice.

During the May bombing (1926) he sided with the government, which did not halt his further career.

After 2 years, he took command of the Kresowa Cavalry Brigade, and in 1937 he headed the Novogródzki Cavalry Brigade.

Meanwhile, (1934) he was promoted to Brigadier General.

During the 1939 Polish campaign, he fought, among others, at Tomaszów. On 29 September 1939, he was captured by the Soviets and was imprisoned in Lviv.

From there he was transported to Moscow, Lubianka (1940), where he was tried to persuade him to betray Poland and to cooperate with the russian Union.

After the outbreak of the German-Soviet War and the signing of the agreement between the government of General Władysław Sikorski and the russian government (Sikorski-Majski Agreement, 30 July 1941), Gen. Władysław Anders was released from russian prison (4 August 1941).

On the same day he was besides appointed commander of the russian Union of the Polish Army, and a week later the Chief Leader appointed him as a divisional general.

From that point on, General Wlasislav Anders became a hope for Polish citizens scattered in camps of an endless russian empire and released by the Soviets under the alleged amnesty.

In 1942, the Polish army, with more than 100,000 people, evacuated from the USSR to Iran, and then to the mediate East.

There, the 2nd Polish Corps was formed, which was celebrated for, among others, fighting for Monte Cassino, Ancona and Bologna (1944–1945). With Anders' army, “inhuman land” left thousands of women and children for whom the general became a symbol of salvation.

Since 1945, General Władysław Anders has been on emigration in London, incapable to accept the dedication of Poland to Stalin by Western allies.

His political activity in the West was connected with holding various functions in the Polish emigration authorities, but their importance was systematically decreasing. He became, among others, the General Inspector of the Armed Forces and Chief Chief.

For Polish communists, General Anders was the commander of the Polish Armed Forces in the West, whom they truly feared.
Poles who lived in the russian yoke mostly considered the hero from Monte Cassino to be the 1 who would bring them freedom. These hopes were besides accompanied by the Polish Underground Nepodległości – the return of Władysław Anders at the head of the real Polish Army was intended to meet the goals of their fight.

The function played by General Władysław Anders among young conspirators, e.g. from the Polish Underground Army respective years after the war (1949) is evidenced by the inscription which they performed on the wall of the school in the village of Obra Stara ( Poznan City): Long Live the Marshal of Poland – Anders.

Lt-Gen Władysław Anders died on 12 May 1970 and was buried among his soldiers, at Monte Cassino Cemetery.

The feelings and gratitude of Poles towards General Władysław Anders for bringing thousands of them out of the russian Union were best expressed by the Polish poet and author Felix Konarski (Ref-Ren), writing "To the Death of General Anders". Here's a part of the song:

” Mother, 1 in the saddles and bars of Workcuta
She was a man's rag with no dignity,
Slave, sentenced to a burning Kazakhstan
Not to death, but to long, slow dying,
When the lice wrapped you up, and the hound ate you...

You who were about to die – but you didn't die,
Today, sigh for what's in your misery
He brought himself out and let you live”...!
