Kazik’s Polish Navy by Kazimierz J. Kasperek, Lieutenant Commander (ret.) with Pat McDonough. Kazik was on active duty from February 1936 to May 8, 1945. He served with the Allied Forces on ships of the Polish Navy–in–Exile. As Chief Petty Officer, Kazik was at the helm in major sea battles and special operations including the suicide convoy to Malta, the evacuation of Dunkirk, the invasions of France, Greece and Italy, hunts for U-boats, and convoys across the North Atlantic. He escaped a German POW camp in brutal cold, crossing frozen rivers and canals.

An exciting, insightful narrative history of valor, optimism, and love.

“For our freedom and yours!”
“Za naszą i waszą wolność”
(the unofficial motto of Poland)
