Description Wacław Grajewski - fictional character from polish novel "Pięciu i czołg". He was a Pole from Postawy[1], son of Krystyna and Eugeniusz Grajewscy (www.deviantart.com/sonthisland… ), brother of Jarek (www.deviantart.com/sonthisland… ) and Tereska. He was a husband of Alicja Grajewska.

As a fan of "Czterej pancerni i pies" (www.deviantart.com/sonthisland… ; despite the historical and political errors in the novel and the series), I eagerly reached for "Pięciu i czołg" hoping that it would be a similar novel, with the same number. Unfortunately, the author of the new novel wanted his work to displace the original (which fortunately did not happen), the novel itself in my opinion is very unsuccessful (a very interesting topic of the 1st Armored Division was wasted!). It contains numerous errors (e.g. promotion down a rank, confusing ranks), the characters are very poorly described, as are the battle scenes

Left to right:
- soldier of 14th Jazłowiec Uhlan Regiment of Wojsko Polskie of the Second Polish Republic (1939)
- member of the Special Unit of the Headquarters of the Union of Armed Struggle/Home Army[2], then a student of the underground Cadet School in Warsaw (1940-44)
- Warsaw insurgent from "Radosław" Home Army Group[3] (1944)

[1] Modern Pastavy in Belarus
[2] It may probably be about Kedyw, because after 1941 Wacek was sent to his native Vilnius Region, where it is not known what he did (suggestion of a courier mission or partisan fight). Later he returned to Warsaw
[3] The novel does not mention which group Wacek belonged to, but his wife Alicja remembers that during the fighting they separated and she ended up in Żoliborz and Wacek in Czerniaków. It is not known whether he survived the uprising. The novel does not mention which group Wacek belonged to, but his wife Alicja remembers that during the fighting they separated and she ended up in Żoliborz and Wacek in Czerniaków. It is not known whether he survived the uprising (suggestion was to swim to the right bank of the Vistula or to be captured by the Germans)
