Published on Aug 30, 2021
In 1942, a band of Polish soldiers freshly released from prisons and work camps stumbled upon an unlikely mascot when they traded goods for a Syrian brown bear cub.

As the war progressed and the men strode into combat, the cub who would grow up to become Wojtek the military bear was right by their side.
