The bear was named Voytey, Voytek, served in the 22nd artillery company of the Second Polish Army during World War II. In 1942, a young boy, who sold the bear, was found in the 22nd artillery company of the Second Polish Army, which was in the Iranian army, and the Lieutenant Commander decided to buy the bear with a cannery.
Because Foytek is too young to swallow food, Polish soldiers act as nannys and feed him milk with brandy bottles.
The bear was quickly adapted to the army under the care of Polish soldiers.
He walks on two legs, salutes the commander, says hello to the other soldiers.
The soldiers didn't treat Foytek as a bear. It was a family feeling.
Soon, Faitek learned all sorts of vices, smoking and drinking.
He loves wrestling and fighting with soldiers, of course.
Soon the Allied Supreme Command ordered the army not to raise pets.
On our way to Italy, we'll need to take a boat from the friendly army, which has refused to board Foitek on the command of the commander. Boat
So Foytek was officially integrated into the 22nd artillery company and given the rank of Private. Title
Don't think that Foytek is just an army mess.
The cruelty of the battlefield casts a shadow in the hearts of every Polish soldier, and the threat of death makes them nervous.
But with Foitek here, this young soldier will remove the tension and fear in the soldiers' hearts.
In the most famous mountain battle of the Second World War, Cassino, Foytek fought with the army and, as an honorable gunman, Fytek had the strength and strength of an average soldier.
During the heavy German artillery fire, a 100-pound artillery round crossed the battlefield. He never missed a road. He never lost a shell. It's hard for human soldiers to reach the calm and sanctuaries on the heavily bombed battlefield.
By virtue of his bravery in the Battle of Casino, Fytec was awarded the rank of Corporal and changed the symbol of his company to the image of Fytec with a shell, which became an integral part of this company.
After the war, Foytek returned to the fields and was sent to a zoo in Edinpo to retire.
It is said that every time a Pole says hello to him in Polish at the zoo, he waves his hand with joy.
And sometimes Polish veterans come across the fence with cigarettes and wine to see Foytek, an old soldier, who would be happy to hug and wrestle.
In 1963, Fytec passed away, and he was 22 years old, and in honour of this bear, many statues of Fytec were built in England, Poland, Canada, etc. to show respect for Fytec.
