General Jan Smuts 🇿🇦 on the WARSAW AIRLIFT 1944: “SAAF flew more than 2,000 miles to carry supplies for those gallant men and women of the 🇵🇱 nation who were fighting the Germans in beleaguered Warsaw. It was a feat of the utmost gallantry carried out in the face of heavy odds.”

Officially the best clip of ‘Ciapek’ the mascot for 305 Polish (B) - Bomber Squadron, 305 (B) Sqn RAF, joining the crew as they jump on ‘wheels’ to the aircraft. The full story of Ciapek is my pinned post. Thanks to @SilenceInPolish & @rgpoulussen for revisiting him 🐾🐾
