Abstract

Dr. Zbigniew Kabata (nicknamed “Bobo” in Poland and referred to as “Bob” in North America) was born on 17 March 1924 into a military family in Jeremicze, Poland and attended Marshal Józef Piłsudski Military Academy in Lwów in 1937 at the young age of 13. He joined the Armia Krajowa in 1941 at the age of 17 and shortly thereafter fought against the Nazis. Bobo and his unit became famous when they liberated about 250 prisoners from two Gestapo jails. After the Nazis were defeated in Poland and his country came under Soviet Union rule, Bobo found himself labeled as an “enemy of the people” as a result of the years he spent as a guerilla soldier of the Home Army. So, he had no choice but to make a daring escape across Soviet lines to join up with the Free Polish Forces in Italy and command a rifle platoon in the 3 rd Company of the 1 st Battalion of the 3 rd Carpathian Division.
