Travel / Poland in photo riddles - part 2 [1680]
@Milo, nice one, I wouldn't have noticed that those street lamps are shorter than usual :) So I guess it must be some big street near the Chopin airport?
Meh, pawian, you're too impatient - I was going to give them some hints, it's part of the fun ;) Also, maybe not everyone noticed my post - you could give them at least 48 hours... :))
But doesn't "grom" mean "thunder"? Bolt/lightning bolt is translated as "piorun/błyskawica", right?
GROM's special operator at that time. Btw, he's the guy that headed the group of experts who wrote that report about faulty Grot rifles issued to Territorials.
OK, since pawian rozwalił system :)) (he identified the badge and answered all the questions correctly) I'll add another question, so other people would still have a chance to guess something :) Pawian, I'd like to ask you not to answer this one for now ;)
The GROM badge (the photo is in my post #838, right after the photos of mushrooms ;)) is contemporary, but that peaking eagle on the badge is a copy of a historic design from the times of WWII. The difference was that the eagle in the original design wasn't clutching a lightning bolt, but something different.
So, my questions is :):
Who wore that eagle before GROM special operators and why GROM soldiers decided to have it as their symbol?
"peaking eagle"
Sorry, it should be "nosediving" :)

It seems we can`t count on our loud-mouthed "patriots."
