Yes because Polish soldiers must left Him. After the war, Polish soldiers fighting under the command of General Anders could not return to Poland due to the communist regime. In 1947, Wojtek stayed at the Edinburgh Zoo where he lived for over 20 years. Life in ZOO was not easy for him considering the fact that Wojtek never lived in confinement, he stayed with soldiers, served with them on guard duty and grew up with them starting from the African front until the end of the war when Polish soldiers ended up in Scotland. He just missed company.

@@Christof44 The Polish army was the fifth force of the Allied coalition, and Polish soldiers participated in a number of the most important battles that decided the fate of World War II. They were present e.g. near Narvik, Arnhem, Monte Cassino, Falaise. They participated in the liberation of Bologna, Breda, conquered Wilhelmshaven and Anconae. The participation of the 302 "Poznański" Squadron in the Battle of Great Britain was significant: the pilots shot down 27, probably 11 and damaged two German planes, six Polish and one British pilot died in combat. The 303rd Squadron during the Battle of Britain shot down 110 German aircraft - the most among fighter squadrons taking part in the fighting. Less than a year after the painful September defeat, the Polish airmen got the opportunity to revenge in the skies of England. Squadrons 300 and 301 are Polish bomber squadrons in the British Army. Polish units, such as: 1st Armored Division of General Stanisław Maczek, 2. Corps of General Władysław Anders, Independent Podhale Rifle Brigade, Independent Carpathian Rifle Brigade . Polish 1st Independent Parachute Brigade. It inflicted heavy losses on German forces on all fronts of WWII. After the Allied landings in Normandy and during the operation at Falaise, the German soldier was more afraid than death of falling into the hands of the "Black Devils", and this is not about American soldiers of African descent. "Black Devils" were called by the Germans a Polish soldier of the 1st Armored Division of General Stanisław Maczek. In 1939, then still Col. Stanisław Maczek commanded the 10th Cavalry Brigade, it was the Motor Brigade. The losses inflicted on the attackers and the skills of Stanisław Maczek and his subordinates aroused respect. The Germans were afraid that the Poles would take revenge for what the Wermacht was doing in Poland.

Actually, during the WWI a similar story has happened in the Polish Murmańsk batallion. The soldiers adopted a female polar bear and she became known as Baśka Murmańska. Together with the unit, she went through the entire combat trail. The word is that she was learnt how to salute. This story is not well known, though.

Wojtek died, because of memories. After a visit of His best friends and teachers, Wojtek's health start to struggle. He Was left alone, without understanding, Why!? All that time together, and You're all alone...

there is also a statue of Wojtek in Krakow, in the Jordan Park

In Krakow in the Jordan Park 10 minutes walk from the old town is a large beautiful monument to soldier Wojtek.

If we mention the fighting at Monte Cassino, it is also worth mentioning this. On May 18 at noon, a victorious white-and-red flag was hoisted on the Monte Cassino hill. The assault cost the lives of 923 Polish soldiers, 2931 were wounded, and 345 were never found. The Battle of Monte Cassino was a testimony to Polish bravery and sacrifice.

I am Wojtek by name actually and love this story.

The most interesting historical fact about Wojtek as well as the most frequently asked question how is it possible that the bear was officially awarded the military rank of a Polish soldier? Wojtek traveled with the 2nd Polish Corps from Iran to Egypt, where they were to be transported to Italy. The captain of the ship did not allow the bear to get on the ship, and the command of the Polish regiment announced that Wojtek was a soldier of the Polish army with the rank of corporal, which was of course entered into the history books :)

This fact was passed on by a soldier who was serving with Wojtek at the time and I had the honor of meeting him while still a very young person. He told me that he was very helpful during the night watches because he reacted to a scent he did not know and that way he recognize enemy in this way.

There are MAAAAANY interesting details missed in this video, for instance - Wojtek loved baths and often were using ENTIERITY of the water supply which was really annoying for the crew so they've installed a lock... which he later then learned to open on his own, or that in his first days on the battlefield he was basically petrified from fear but as the war went on he got used to the noise and explosions, Wojtek also NEVER dropped the ammo box or the artillery shell he was carrying. My favourite fact however that was missed is that Wojtek was actually bought from a little boy in Africa for some canned food and chocolate, the boy was carrying the bear in his backpack.

She then returned to restored Poland and took part in a military parade in Warsaw in 1919.

The statues of Wojtek are in Edinburgh, Cassino, Sopot and Szymbark near Gdańsk.

15:00 - I have a strange feeling this is not a photo of Wojtek with Polish soldiers, but a person dressing up as a bear... This is not what a face, especially the eyes of a living bear look like, nor a posture it could assume. I'm not sure about the uniforms, but the sign with city names is written with a German script very popular in the IIIrd Reich, and it's also listing a number of German cities next to some Russian ones, suggesting this had been standing in a German military camp at the eastern front. Which in turn suggests those might be nazi soldiers.

When in Krakòw again , take a tram from the Center - direction ♡ Cichy Kącik, it will take you to park Jordana. Its the Childrens Park with red squirels ( take few nuts to feed them) Wojtek the bear monument placed there just few years ago. If intrested in Polish history read about Dr Henryk Jordan- started football team in Krakòw - bringing the first leather ball from England. The easiest history book about European countries is The Europe by Norman Davies. Written in capsules ( so you read brief note first and look for more in second part)

Loved this, but really you should have been reacting to our rap about the life of Wojtek the bear 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Chapter was titled "Private Wojtek", His ID says "Corporal"

If I had a nickel for every bear that was in polish military in 20th century I would have three. It ain't much but it's strange it happened thrice
