Legendary wartime courier dies - National "Jozef Uznanski, one of Poland's celebrated wartime couriers, has passed away in his native Zakopane at 87.A skier, mountain guide and rescuer, Jozef Uznanski fought in Poland's official underground army (AK) during World War II. His intimate knowledge of the highlands of southern Poland made him an invaluable courier during the Nazi occupation." Day by day, the heros of WW2 from all over the world are passing. I hope all of their stories are well documented. One of the deepest regrets I have is not asking my grandma more about grandpa's WW2 days in Siberia.
