How demoralizing must it be to see your enemy have a fucking bear directly help them seige you?
ZombiesAreOkay
This was so unbearably awesome I had to paws and check it out. With all that ammo, he was never barehanded

I heard the last line in my head in Damian Lewis's voice like in the episode 'Points' from Band of Brothers

thing 2.. he lived in the scottish borders before edinburgh zoo, there are LOTS of people in towns there who remember him

Can confirm. My old high school had him on the logo of our uniform.

i still like to imagine polish solders being drunk and like "see those americans and their bearing of arms... we must arm bear!!!"

"In Pre-Soviet Poland, bear arms you!"
ItsHardToThinkAboutItOk
"Co wygra z orłem? Niedźwiedź, załatwmy sobie jednego" i think this is more accurate "What would win with eagle? A bear, lets get one"

Imagine fighting against a polish unit and see that a bear is carrying their ammo for them... I would have gone to scotland right there...
imnotthatblonde
then the bear moved to scotland... that would be a real shitter
AlexanderTheGood
A bear who carries weapons and drinks out of a vodka bottle. That's the most soviet thing I've ever heard.
thanatophilia
True that

The poles have and always will hate the soviets. If Poland wasn't betrayed and sold out by the western countries at the end of ww2 1/2
TheImplicator
It would have never been a part of the USSR. Pro tip... Never call a pole a soviet you ignorant kurwa.

Polish here: genuine story. We have few bears left living wild in Polish mountains (about 12 atm)

Szkoda ze tak malo. Wojtek byl bohaterem!

The boys gave him a name that very same night.

Saw the title and came to spell the pronunciation, but it's already in the post...

How funny would it be to just be at the zoo, looking at the bear, when suddenly a crazy polish guy just jumps in and starts wrestling him
OhHiMarkOhHeyLisaHiDannyHiMiUnderwearesOhHeyLisaSpooooons
It would be so hard to convince your kids NOT to jump into animal enclosures after that

When's the movie come out?

Tom Hanks is Voytek

That would be fucking awesome.
