Dear Sirs

This car from photo it was GPA which swam with help for Warsawa Uprise in September 1944 - from right bank to left bank. Pat Ware from English "Classic Military Vehicles" magazine ordered article about vehicle took out from water (rivers, lakes) in Poland in last 10 years. There were about 30 - 50 actions. Some of these vehicles is running now, as 62 years ago. There ware mainly Germant tanks or armoured carrie took out from water. There were also 4 GPA. First in 1980 (from photo). Next 2 in strat of 90's, and lat in october 2005.
I don't know when Pat put my article in magazine but there will be more interesting stories nad photos.
Best wishes from East - Tomasz
