Tad beside his Canadian Ford CMP. While in the UK he learned to drive just about anything with an internal combustion engine. On one visit he regaled me with a story about joy riding in a tank once and getting thoroughly reprimanded

Here Tad and company are taking a break from performing maintenance on his SIGINT truck. Notice what appears to be denim work uniforms. Can anybody identify the odd tent in the background?

The rear of the Anders photo had this stamp on it. This leads me to believe Tad got it from a friend in the photo unit perhaps?

Another picture near a signals truck. Tad appears to be one of the taller men in his unit. He had always been an athlete. In civilian life he enjoyed running and participating in various sporting activities.

As I mentioned above, Tad liked vehicles. He spent many hours on whatever motorcycle he could get his hands on

Tad and his older brother shortly after the war. The family was from Grudziadz. He and his family were separated by the Germans, each going to different forced labor camps in the Reich

Shortly after the war Tad volunteered for the newly formed GTC corps. These were displaced Polish persons who in this case, formed a tactical smoke generation unit in Germany. Tadek served within the wire communications platoon of this company by reason of his experience in the Polish army. After approximately two years of service with the GTC, Wisniewski was eligible to immigrate to the U.S.
