Appeals for posthumous promotion R. Kuklinski

07.08.2006

Polish war veterans want the late colonel Ryszard Kulinski, the man who had warned the US about plans to impose martial law in Poland back in 1981, to be posthumously promoted.

This may happen already on August 15, when President Lech Kaczynski will present nominations to newly appointed generals. The president’s chief of staff Aleksander Szczyglo confirmed in a radio interview that many war veteran organizations are calling for the promotion of Ryszard Kuklinski. He added that such a promotion would be absolutely justified because “colonel Kuklinski deserves to be a general in free Poland”.

Ryszard Kuklinski cooperated with the American intelligence and NATO for 11 years, during which he handed over to the West about 35 thousand documents from the Soviet Army and the Warsaw Pact headquarters. He did not accept any pay for that.

"the man who had warned the US about plans to impose martial law in Poland back in 1981"

We don't really know what kind of informations he was sharing and If ever, It will take decades before access to that knowledge is not secret anymore. Even some WW2 stuff is still secret, for example things connected with Sikorski's "accident".
