Ah memories... My landlady when I was a student in Toronto was descended from a long line of Galician rabbis. She disliked the cat that belonged to the guys upstairs ("The cat is not a cat, it is a spirit") especially when it ate her pet dove. Tell me: on what side was the Ukrainian Galician Army, Russia's or Austria's?
Apparently it fought first the Poles and then then the Bolsheviks, as this was that sublimely chaotic period after the German collapse when everyone on the Eastern front seemed to be fighting each other.
Thanks for the heads up actually, my wording wasn't clear.
hey ben,
awesome blog you have here, seems like you update it quite frequently.
if you read as many WWII stories as I do, especially about the holocaust or the gulags or anything eastern front, galicia comes up quite a lot
