Merged: Polish Special Forces in Italy WW2
Researching a photo taken in Italy dated 25 April 1945. A large group of men. Believe some may be Polish Cichociemni from the Ostuni training centre at Base 10 (organized in collaboration with British SOE) along with Polish VI Bureau Signals battalion Lacznosci staff from Base 11 (where the radio centre at Latiano was known as Mewa (translation Seagull). My father was with Signals at Base 11, I have his slip signed by Iwanicki (#31 in photo I believe) and Hancza. I've created a modest website and numbered the photo, hoping visitors may be able to name some of these men. I've included a little background information and will be continuing to update. If you have particular knowledge of these two units in the Brindisi area, or had a Polish relative who was a Ciochciemni or was with Signals - who was alive in April 1945 - please take a look at the website:
