Partisans
Was it common for partisans to have code names to use in lieu of their own real names?
Thanks, N |

Re: Partisans
Most of the partisans I have heard of (Polish and Soviet, I mean) had some pseudonyms. Sometimes unusual and someimes being just the guy's first name.

Re: Partisans
Hmmmmmmmm, the above two appear to be conducting some kind of Secret Agent talk. How does one respond to the code:
1. The weather in Moscow is pleasant and warm. 2. Rosebud 3. The popcorn is popping. 4. The Aussie has landed. 5. The Pavlo has landed. :D |

Re: Partisans
...and don't get grabbed by your short red hairs (maybe similar to those referenced in land surveying with the time honored term "RCH" that denotes a very fine measurement of distance?) lest you lose those two birds in the bush or the one in your hand if sitting alone, or have you landed that bird yet?
