Antoni Bruski
Polish Army 62 1.Regiment
from:Brombrger str144, Wyrzysk, Poland
I am proud to be the grand daughter of a hero. My grandfather Antoni Bruski was born on 13th January 1915. He was a soldier in the Polish Army and was captured on 18th September 1939 in Krasnobrod. He was sent to Luckenwalde Stalag 3a when he remained until 27th July 1940. His Stalag number was 4849.
I am looking for any information about his friend Rene Visene, a French soldier he met probably in 1940 because at that time 30,000 Frenchmen were inprisoned there. Rene tried to give my grandfather a leather jacket, but my grandfather told him he would not take it because it was cold in the camp. He was given a crocodile skin brown wallet instead. Rene owned a restaurant in Paris before the war and my grandfather tried to look for him. He wrote to a major in Paris. If anyone has information about Rene I would be pleased to hear from them.
Thank you to all allied soldiers for their sacrifice so our generation can live in a country free from war.
