I know a retired Canadian Brigadier General who did his PhD on the Polish Normandy campaigns. I'll see if I can contact him.

Edited - Better yet. Here is his profile and a university email address. https://www.queensu.ca/cidp/people/f...obert-williams

Hi Adrian,

I don't have anything on Polish tank losses but there is a file on World war 2 Talk.

http://www.ww2talk.com/index.php?media/

Just type in Tank casualties in the search box. The files cover mainly British losses but there are a few Canadian references.

Cheers

Kevin

If you mention my name, you're guaranteed to be ignored! I'll send him a note to confirm you are a good guy.
