wildrover: Zaruski was certainly a great man and somebody the Polish nation should be proud of He was indeed. Even in his NKVD mug shot his face still resonates pride and an indomitable posture. You see it in lots of these mug shots of Poles -they were beaten but not broken and I suppose these pictures were their last way of leaving that message for posterity.
For those interested, here's a link to a site showing Polish (and other) generals. I don't know why, but Zaruski doesn't show up in the list.
