Eileen Orr's book, which is a wonderful account of Wojtek. She says that actually it was Polish privates in the second transport company who had come into possession with Wojtek right from the beginning.

Key quote: I think every Polish friend I've got has said, do you know the story of Wojtek?
The host mentions 'Wojtek' to highlight the remarkable story of a bear that became a symbol of Polish resistance during World War II. This book captures the essence of Polish heroism and serves as a poignant reminder of the lighter moments amidst the darkness of war.
