Genealogy / Does anyone have any relatives who served with 1st Polish Armoured Division (Gen. Maczek) [311]
My Name is Alonzo MacDonald and my great Uncle Gordon James Macdonald was killed August 14th 1944 by Raf and RCAF bombers in a misbombing incident .Many Canadians and Polish Troops were killed and injured during this bombing. I would life any personal stories anyone may have from the Polish side ,I can find lots on Canadian side but have a hard time on Polish side. I would love and stories either personal or from books or newspapers from the Polish Perspective on this incident. I am writing a book and want to make sure the Polish troops get a real mention and not just the customary Poles were killed as in other accounts. The Polish 1st armored was the unit bombed on the date. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am only interested for stories on this date I am aware of the other bombing the previous week but I am focussing on the 14th August 1944.
