Kazik's Polish Navy by Kazimierz J. Kasperek, Lieutenant Commander (ret.) with Pat McDonough.
Kazik was on active duty from Feb. 1936 to May 8, 1945. On ships of the Polish Navy in exile, he served with the Allied Forces. An exciting, insightful narrative history of valor, optimism, and love.
As Chief Petty Officer, Kazik was at the helm in major sea battles and special Op's 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.
