Polish Nazi-Fighting bear to be honored.

Link.

Sometimes you just have to step back and bask in the weirdness.

There’s some sort of joke here, I can just feel it…

Ah, he was the Nazi’s mortar enemy.

Does a bear fight Nazis in the woods?

He is best remembered however for his role in the brutal battle of Monte Cassino in 1944, where he voluntarily helped his comrades unload boxes of artillery shells for the Allied guns under fire.

Evidently, it’s the right to arm bears.

As the sign says…

“What the bear offered all of these men was comfort. At a time when they were far from home, had nothing, and often no-one, Wojtek stood in for the wives…”

:eek:

That word bear, I don’t think it means what they think it means.

Talk about Grin and Bear it…

I swear, I had to look at the masthead to make sure this wasn’t The Onion

Yeah, pretty amazing. I think there was another thread on Wojtek a little while ago; I believe http://www.badassoftheweek.com/voytek.html was brought up. “The idea of a fucking alcoholic Nazi-fighting bear is so awesome that you’d think it was something out of a bizarre cartoon or a Sci-Fi Channel Original Movie.”

What’s so weird about a tank-spec feral druid?

Now if he’d only taken the next logical step hunters would actually deserve bragging rights for their hobby.

Hunter: “Look! A bear! Incoming!!

BOOM

When they told them that they would have to bear the horrors of combat I think they took it a bit too literal.

Can this be the inspiration for Tim on The Cleveland Show?

The Nazi’s should not have stolen the picnic basket.

Well, he’s the right bear to arm.

That is very cool.
