Learned from a dear friend last night that this article found its way to at least one family descended from the women who lived this nightmare. That it spoke to them alone makes having all the misery it entailed going round in my head whilst I was writing it worth it

Josef Jan Nickowski 1918-1944. Hideously burned on his way into battle when his Sherman hit mines. It’s now a memorial. He survived seven, agonising days, finally succumbing on the day that his countrymen entered the ruins of the abbey at Montecassino #Poland 🇵🇱 (marked by a cross in the group photo)

Being labelled unworthy, incompetent and a liar by a woman who categorically lied and obfuscated her way through failing to do her own job was not on my bingo card for today. This scapegoat will be laughing her arse off when karma eventually does its thing
