Last comment re Boris Tworek and his so called SS connection other than if you actually served in the SS alongside him supply proof and if you can do neither then stick to facts and not fiction or hear say i go into many a cafe and restaurent and speak to the employees on a regular basis but dont presume to know them and if one of them told me that they came from mars my intelligence would demand proof but then again many out there would settle for the colour of their green skin, if you get my meaning -

Hi Helbo Boris was my father unfortunately he passed away on the 24th june 2010, he joined the German army aged 16 (as most young poles were conscripted) and began training at the Kaiser Wilhelm Kaserne Mannheim and served in Italy, his commanding officer was from the same area as my dads parents and as they had a farm used to send livestock etc over to the commanding officers family thus he received the rank of corporal and the iron class 2nd class, 2 years into the war he joined the Italian partisans and then the free poles after which he landed in england reason being poland was mainly occupied by russia and turning into a communist regime, as for the ss he always liked a good joke and may have said something on those lines, and yes i have seen evidence re photos etc. -

What ss background, if you need info re his stint in the German army then no problem, I cannot get my head round the rumour re an ss connection I heard he was hitlers cousin but likewise found that to be a load of crap as well -

Boris Tworek had nothing to do with the ss he was in fact forcefully conscripted ito the german army as a boy soldier at age 16 where'by he escaped and joined the italian underground before joining the free poles
