Polish Emilia Plater Battalion joins division in Russia
The Emilia Plater battalion, named for a Polish heroine, joined a division trained under Polish and Russian officers since last September. They completed a six day frontline maneuver in snow, conducting forced marches and minefield work while transporting guns by hand. Soviet and Polish sources claim the division outpaced the Kosciuzko division in equipment and strength. Wanda Wassilevskaya leads the Polish Patriots organization backing the corps as Berling and Anders clash over evacuation.
