EpisodeApr 1616m

In the first months of WWII, millions of Polish citizens and soldiers were deported to the Soviet Union. As prisoners of war, hundreds of thousands perished from cold, starvation and execution. But after the German invasion of Russia, these exiles and prisoners were crafted into an army to fight the Nazis. The man to lead them was Wladyslaw Anders. This is the tale of Ander’s exiled Polish army.Sources"An Army in Exile: The Story of the Second Polish Corps" by Władysław AndersWikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W%C5%82adys%C5%82aw_AndersImage: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Władysław_Anders.jpgThe Explorers Podcast is part of the Airwave Media Network: www.airwavemedia.comInterested in advertising on the Explorers Podcast?

History Dispatches is a daily history show hosted by father and son duo Matt and McKinley Breen. The show covers people, places, events and even objects from throughout history. While any topic is fair game, Matt and McKinley hold a soft spot for the offbeat and wacky stories that most people don’t know about.
