Release new book in September 2005
' ALL MEN ARE BROTHERS '
the Polish Roll of Honour, The Battle Of Arnhem, 1944.
written by: Andries Hoekstra
In the weekend of 17 September 2005 a new book will be released. It is a tribute to the Polish soldiers and airmen that were killed in Operation Market Garden in September 1944, during the battle of Arnhem. The introduction tells the reader why and how the 1st Polish Independent Parachute Brigade Group was formed and the important part its commander Major-General Stanislaw F. Sosabowski played in this process. These soldiers and officers trained hard for one goal only; the liberation of Poland. In stead they landed near Arnhem and many of them would never see their beloved Poland again.
ALL MEN ARE BROTHERS contains the records of the 101 Polish soldiers that were killed during the battle of Arnhem. Each record is spread on two pages. The left page shows a portrait photo and the personal information, the opposite page shows the photo of the gravestone, and information on the cemetery and plot number. For an example see the picture below.
ALL MEN ARE BROTHERS is bilingual (Polish and English) and comes in a handy size of 17x24 cm. Further details are the following:
224 pages, full colour, more then 300 unique photos of which most have never been published before in a book. Printed on high quality glossy paper with a strong binding. It will be shipped in a special strong cardboard packing.
ALL MEN ARE BROTHERS will be released on September 16th, 2005. The price is € 22,50 including package and postage in Europe, and € 27,50 outside Europe
HOW TO ORDER
Fill in the form below and pay (within Europe €22,50 outside Europe €27,50)
Na życzenie autora podesłałem linki do stron ze zdjęciami z "Ren-Warta".
Być może dołączy kilka do książki.

Dość dużo informacji na temat kpt. Maćkowiaka znalazłem we właśnie przeze mnie przeczytanej książce Ian`a Valentine`a Baza 43, Cichociemni To kolejna z zachodnich pozycji poświęconych Polakom, może nie nasycona tak wzniosłymi hasłami, ale za to bardzo ciekawa i odsłaniająca wiele tajemnic ośrodka w Audley End. No i zahacza też trochę w niektórych fragmentach o Jedburghs.
Hit first. Hit hard. Keep on hitting.
Jedburgh= trzyosobowa misja łącznikowa, w skrócie po prostu "Jed".
Temat w ogóle gdzieś zagubiony nie tylko w naszej, ale też często w zachodniej historiografii. W skrócie powiem, że chodzi o takich dziarskich panów bardzo różnorodnie nieraz umundurowanych, uzbrojonych i wyposażonych, z takim charakterystycznym skrzydlatym "SF" na rękawach.

Zostać dziś reenactorem Jedburgh Teams to mistrzostwo świata. Hardcore w pełnej krasie - np. Marlin a do niego jako ładownice na magazynki pewien konkretny, oderwany od burty Dakoty "pouch", który akurat idealnie pasował na te magazynki, bo wojsko do broni niewojskowej nie szyło ładownic, a Marlin to broń właśnie cywilna. Taką przynajmniej analizę zrobił mi jeden z najwybitniejszych amerykańskich kolekcjonerów militariów, bo inaczaj nie miałbym pojęcia, że panowie z Jedburgh Teams urywali pewien konkretny techniczny "pouch" z burt Dakot, bo im ten "pouch" niezmiernie pasował do oporządzenia.MikeR pisze:W skrócie powiem, że chodzi o takich dziarskich panów bardzo różnorodnie nieraz umundurowanych, uzbrojonych i wyposażonych, z takim charakterystycznym skrzydlatym "SF" na rękawach.

Znalazłem sobie:
A Jedburgh Team was a special forces unit typically consisting of three men (two officers and a wireless operator) whose purpose was to parachute into enemy territory and contact the local resistance groups. Dropped slightly in advance of the front line they were to act as liaison between the Allied military and the resistance fighters, either organizing supply drops of arms and equipment to these forces and offering instruction in their use, or harnessing their strength to hinder the enemy in direct support of nearby Allied military units. The Jeds were a part of the Special Operations Executive (SOE), however their role was strictly paramilitary and in contrast to SOE's established role this did not include any element of espionage. As a consequence all the teams went into action wearing their military uniforms, but in the event of their capture they could expect similar treatment to that of spies.
The concept began in May 1942, a month after the British and Americans had met to decide upon their strategy for the liberation of Europe, and the Jedburgh's were one of a number of proposals of how the SOE's resources could be employed to assist an invasion. The raising of this new formation was entrusted to Lieutenant-Colonel Peter Wilkinson, who had recently returned from the Middle East where he had commanded SOE's Central and Eastern European operations, and official recognition was given to the Jeds in July 1943. Up until this time it had been a British operation, but the arrival of US forces led to the formation of their own equivalent of SOE, the Office of Strategic Services (OSS). As was the case in so many other areas of the Allied machine where interests clashed there followed a dispute as to who was in overall control, however a compromise was reached whereby the Jedburgh's became subject to a joint command.
It was intended that each of the three-man teams should have either a British or American officer in command with either a French, Belgian, or Dutch officer included depending on which country the team was to be deployed, though this structure was not strictly adhered to. The vast majority of the Jedburgh's were British, American, and French, but in addition there were 8 Dutchmen, 2 Canadians, and a Belgian. Officers of all nationalities were selected by SOE and OSS recruitment officers as they toured regiments, however not wishing to deprive commanding officers of all their best men there was a policy of drawing only one candidate per battalion. Whilst the Americans acquired their wireless operators from a variety of sources, including airborne, their British kin were almost exclusively recruited from armoured formations as it was found that these men possessed a wide range of necessary fighting and field craft skills, but also had extensive knowledge of their sets, and as tank crew were accustomed to operating as a close-knit team.
The team used at Arnhem was Jedburgh Team Claude and it consisted of two Americans, Lieutenant Harvey Todd and wireless operator Technical Sergeant Carl Scott, and a Dutchman, Captain Jacobus Groenewoud. Their task was to liaise between Major-General Urquhart and the Dutch resistance, and to gather and pass on any Intelligence that these groups acquired. Todd and Groenewoud accompanied the 1st Para Brigade HQ to Arnhem bridge, where they performed with great distinction, however Groenewoud was killed and Todd was eventually captured. Scott was separated from his officers shortly after landing and spent the remainder of the battle at Oosterbeek. He was safely evacuated across the Rhine, but was killed in action on the 2nd November 1944 whilst on patrol with members of the US 101st Airborne Division, north of the Rhine, near Wageningen.
In total there were 101 Jedburgh Teams, and an equal number of operations were carried out in Europe during their brief history. Most teams were designed for deployment in France, and so when that country was liberated the scope for future missions was substantially reduced. Relations between MI6 and SOE had been bitter from the outset, and the former wasted no opportunity to shut its rival down piece by piece. However the Jedburgh's still had a role to play in the Far East with SOE's Force 136, and a further 30 or more operations were carried out with great success behind the Japanese lines. When the war came to an end the American Jeds returned home, the British were either demobbed or scattered amongst the various British Regiments stationed in India, but the French Jedburgh's continued to function under their own command in Indo-China.

Mam w domu ciekawą książkę Paul`a Gaujac`a Special Forces in the invasion of France, w której to są takie zdjęcia "Jed- ów" obwieszonych chyba wszystkim, co aliancka myśl powietrzno desantowa wytworzyła.
Pasjonujące przy tym jest to, że i my mieliśmy taką "szemraną" jednostkę, Samodzielną Kompanię Grenadierów, która chyba bije rekordy, jeżeli chodzi o najgorzej opisaną w polskiej historiografii jednostkę, wyprzedzając drugą w kolejności 1. Samodzielną Kompanię Komandosów o trzy długości Dakoty.
