Mal cautiously looks around the slightly opened door and sees a large open area. In the area a few dozen Polish soldiers can be seen moving about on various tasks. Fresh bandages adorn some of these men, obviously wounded from the recent fighting. Most carry military weapons - AK-74's, AKR's, Pistol's and a few SVD sniper rifles.
There are no vehicles but plenty of evidence of this being a cavalry unit - fresh horse droppings are plentiful.
Approximately 10 metres away from the doorway, a barbed wire enclosure surrounds a large group of approximately 50 US prisoners, most of whom are wounded, some greviously. No obvious attention is directed towards these captives by the Polish troops, however, there are a couple of civilians pushing small amounts of food through between the wires. There are no officers or senior NCO's visible in the enclosure.
Another building, probably once a warehouse, sits on the other side of the enclosure.
You recognise this small village as Zdunska Wola, located approximately 40 km south west of the city of Lodz.

Don kneels down beside Lt Colonel Nelson and whispers to him.

So, Mr Nelson, are there any more that speaks Polish? I do, and I wear a Polish uniform as well, except for the boots. Though I can't handle a gun that well, so I wait with the guns until we have enough of them. I guess the soldiers aren't very talkative, but the civilians seem helpful. Do I dare to approach them, you think? What information do we need to recover from them, in that case?

I guess my political immunity doesn't work around here, at least not until meeting higher ranked officers.

We have three uniforms will we send a couple over to check the warehouse?,three, five if we wish to risk it, keeping the risk to a minimum. I'm only an NCO.

Maybe on the way out we can open the gate?, it would widen the search for the poles.
