Vojtek the Persian Bear

Served alongside the polish soldiers in World War II

بی بی سی: لهستان برای نسل امروز ایران کشوری است مثل دیگر کشورهای جهان؛ نه معنای خاصی دارد نه یادآور مفهوم خاصی است. مشابه همین برای لهستانی های امروز صادق است. اما پدربزرگ ها و مادربزرگهای این دو کشور خاطرات مشترکی دارند که کمتر از آنها صحبت شده است. نه تنها گروه بزرگی از لهستانی ها دوره ای از زندگیشان را در ایران بسر برده اند بلکه یکی از سربازهای قهرمانشان در جنگ جهانی دوم یک ایرانی بوده است؛ در واقع یک خرس ایرانی. نمایشگاهی در لندن دایر شده که زندگی این قهرمان در آن به تصویر کشیده شده است. نگین شیرآقایی گزارش می دهد.






Ryszard Antolak writes: After the Battle of Monte Cassino, one of the fiercest and bloodiest conflicts of the Second World War, many accounts emerged of the bravery and heroism of the soldiers. But perhaps the strangest story of all was of an Iranian brown bear who served alongside the allied soldiers in the worst heat of the battle. Despite the incessant bombardment and constant gunfire, the bear carried vital supplies of ammunition and food to his fellow-soldiers fighting on the mountainside. Many observers who witnessed his remarkable actions doubted the reality of what they were seeing. But the story was no legend>>>

Anything that makes Iran/Iranian people look good would be frowned upon by Hojatieh scum bags!

به این میگن خرس

خرس  هم خرسهای قدیم ، واقعا  داستان منحصر بفردی است. از این  زندگی حداقل یکی دو تا فیلم و رمان میشه در آورد. خرس یتیم ، تبعیدی! //en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wojtek_%28soldier_bea...

Of bears and foxes

I don't know what other appeasing evidence we should present to our Jewish friends!  
Never increase, beyond what is necessary, the number of entities required to explain anything.
