Title: Polish Army War Records
Post by: RWTaylor on Friday 21 May 21 07:31 BST (UK)

I am following up on a Polish Army war record - with the help of Google Translate. In one document there is reference to 'Jednostka ewid.' which I think is the army unit and that is 'O.Z.A.'

Can anyone help with what 'O.Z.A.' was, please? Obviously Google Translate isn't much help there!

Can only find Ośr Zap which means Reserve Centre

There are Anglo-Polish societies. Some branches are on Facebook. They may be able to help you translate and explain things.

Are you able to explain the other words in the opening post?
