Polish 6th Pomeranian Airborne Division
I can't find mention in canon of Poland's airborne formation. It's not mentioned in Going Home (1e) or the East Europe Sourcebook (2e). I checked the independent Polish militias (e.g. 1st Polish Free Legion, Gydnia Miiicya) to see if any of them started off as the 6th PAD, or were built around a 6th PAD cadre, but no dice (most of the independent Polish formations are ex-Border Guard units).
I doubt that the T2k writers didn't know about it. It has a famous heritage (see A Bridge Too Far), at least compared to other Warsaw Pact airborne formations, and was considered an elite unit by the Soviets. It's mentioned in various publications from the period in which the writing of the game took place. The EESB includes the Czechoslovakian Parachute Brigade. It seems like a strange and fairly glaring omission from the Polish OOB. Am I missing something? Is it mentioned in Challenge of another canonical source? -
