A significant component of the set is an exclusive figure: General Władysław Anders (1892-1970), a Polish general and politician. Notably, he fought against German and Soviet forces in September 1939 and was subsequently captured by the Soviets. He served as the Commander of the Polish Army in the USSR and the 2nd Polish Corps. After the war, General Anders became the Supreme Commander and Inspector General of the Polish Armed Forces in the Republic of Poland, succeeding the President of the Republic of Poland in exile. He was laid to rest alongside his soldiers at the Polish War Cemetery in Monte Cassino.
History.
The Sherman IC Firefly Zemsta II was a British-modified American tank that served during the Second World War. Based on the M4 Sherman, the Firefly was equipped with the formidable 17-pounder anti-tank gun, which gave it the firepower to effectively counter Germany's heavily armoured Tigers and Panthers.
Zemsta II (meaning "Revenge II" in Polish) was part of the 1st Polish Armoured Division, commanded by General Stanisław Maczek. This unit fought alongside Allied forces in the North-West Europe campaign, contributing significantly to the liberation of France, Belgium, and the Netherlands. The tank’s Polish crew named it as a tribute to their homeland, occupied at the time.
Notably, Zemsta II saw action during the Battle of Normandy in 1944 and subsequent operations, showcasing the Firefly's ability to penetrate even the most resilient enemy armour. Its legacy symbolises the Polish contribution to the Allied war effort and the resilience of those displaced by war.
