Was reading some old WWII stories, and I came across the story of Voytek the bear. Anyone ever heard of this bear? Crazy story.

Trained bear was carrying artillery for the poles in the war. Drinking beer and eating cigs with the army men. Damn I want army bears.

Awesome story, isn't it? I have forgotten about it pretty much. Thank you for the link.
And the name would spell "Wojtek" in Polish. They just give it fonetically, or that's how it was recorded than. It translates to Wally.
