Thanks Tony, now I can put a face to the name and signiature of General Kukiel. He was in my grandfather's chain of command, I believe.
Just a small contribution here, I do know I have more lurking.
Firstly a couple of books on Monte Cassino. The one on the left is in Polish, published in 1945. Alas it's only volume 1 - have no idea whether a) there were any other volumes published subsequently or b) if there were, whether I have them in my possession. Many of the illustrations in there are by Stanislaw Gliwa. The book on the right is a UK publication from 1957. Both are first editions.
Next are a trio of wartime booklets and pamphlets. One on the left is the soldier's prayerbook (published London 15th May 1942), which Marcin has already posted. It's pocket-sized, perfect for slipping into the breast pocket of a battledress. The middle is a pamphlet from 1945 and talks a lot about the NKVD and on the right is an account of the September Campaign published in 1941.
I love books, so this thread is right up my street.
