The (fictional) 27 (Polish) SAS

James,

Outstanding!

Any specific and significant interactions with Polish Solidarność guerrillas or the Free Polish government's (fictional) Home Army? That is, aside from being second banana to the 10th SFG.

Nice to see some material from Twilight 2000 Wiki (http://twilight2000.wikia.com/wiki/Twilight_2000_Wiki) making it's way into this forum.

It should do - I posted it there too. This is a slightly updated version.

Now the question is would the SAS and the UK being as well as NATO would be willing to raise and sponsor such other units. Much like the British did during WWII. There were several French, Greek, and Polish to name just a handful of nations that had been fallen to Germany and Italy in Europe that were listed with UK and Commonwealth OOB during the duration of the war.

Their was French and Belgian SAS units, Polish Armour Brigade and a Airborne Brigade as well many other troops.

Would NATO Allies in 1997-1998 attempt to raise Brigades of troops from former allies and even some Polish and Czech Brigades to fight alongside it forces?

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.
