Lesniewski, Joseph (1920- 2012); Lesniewski completed Airborne Infantry training at Fort Benning, Georgia. Afterward, he was shipped to Northern Ireland. Because he was fluent
in Polish, he was sent to work with the Office of Strategic Services. His mission was to jump into Nazi-occupied Warsaw. The Russians overran the area and the jump was canceled.
Joseph was given the option of staying with his unit or being transferred to any other unit. He requested the 101st Airborne. Joseph Lesniewski joined E Company in March 1944 as a
replacement soldier. Lesniewski fought in Battle of Normandy, Operation Market Garden, and the Battle of the Bulge. 3"x5" card. $40.00
