current #research:26 January 1944: in mid-month, dozens of #Jewish soldiers in the #Polish Armoured Division, fed up with endemic #antisemitism, went to London, demanding transfer to the British forces. Polish Defence Minister Lt. Gen. Marian Kukiel reports the incident to British Lt. Gen. Grasset. He notes that the #Zionist & #Bundist representatives on the Polish National Council condemned the action, as did the representative of the World Jewish Congress (also a Zionist). #WWII 1/n

Kukiel casts aspersions on the men & their motives:There is no extensive antisemitism (and any incidents have been dealt with), so this action is the work of agitators. Is it coincidental that these #deserters" act as #DDay approaches?He & C-in-C Gen. Sosnkowski have nonetheless decided not to punish the men if they return to a Polish camp to make individual applications. The leaders agree, but the rest of the men refuse to leave London.What is the British stance?#antisemitism # WWII2/n

@tkinias more will come in due time (a few days at most) Let's just say the matter is not easily resolved.
