I'm trying to think through this, without having the game end so soon in either a TPK or a trip to the PW camp, and I had this thought.

What if this GRU officer were to play along with defecting to the PCs, following them and offering some guidance, so that they can find the base camp(s) for the 2nd Polish Free Legion, west of the Vistula? Then she can find a way to call in some more of her division. Now that would be worth a promotion, right?
