Wojtek the Army Bear and Daniel Daly

In today’s episode, we’re diving into one of those stories…and to be honest, it sounds like it’s straight out of a Pixar movie—but as I said… it is real. Picture this: World War II, chaos everywhere, soldiers fighting for their lives, and in the middle of it all… a bear. Not just any bear, but a bear with a military rank, a paycheck, and a taste for beer and cigarettes. This is the story of Wojtek, the Syrian brown bear who became a soldier in the Polish Army. Hang onto your hats, because this one’s wild.
