Abbott,
NATO made some impressive gains on their drive into the Soviet Union. Doubtless many Soviet units and individuals were cut off and unlike Warszawa, surrendered. In WWII the Germans raised different "White Russian" and Cossack units. During the Twilight War, it might make sense to recruit Russians and other "Soviet" ethnic groups to form their own units.
Continuing from WWII, Canada was a primary source for non-English SOE personnel as the younger society was more ethnically diverse than the "mother country". If Canada doesn't form it's own Polish unit, it would make sense that a fair degree of the 27th SAS would be Poles from Canada or possibly even the USA.
