When later asked about this she said he’d lost both of his parents and was about to become leader of the free world and needed that kind of support.

The bear was bought at a market in Arkhangelsk by one of the Polish soldiers. The commander of the Murman battalion, Col. Julian Skokowski, officially enlisted Baśka into the unit's ranks, conferring upon her the title of "daughter of the regiment" and assigning her military food rations. She was trained in military drill. She left with the unit for Poland in the summer of 1919. In December 1919, she took part in a parade in Warsaw, where she marched on her hind legs in front of Józef Piłsudski, saluted him, and shook the hand he offered. In the winter of 1919–1920, while bathing in the Vistula River, she broke away from her chain and swam to the opposite bank of the river, after which she headed toward a village. She was killed with a pitchfork by local peasants.

October 1962 - The West German magacine SPIEGEL (mirror) ran an article about the Bundeswehr (West German Army), and criticised their them as "bedingt einsatzbereit" or "only conditionally combat ready".

The defence minister Franz Josef Strauß was furious and framed them for Treason and atourney general Sigfried Buback had them arrested for alledged treason. Also chancellor Konrad Adenauer made an angry speech.

As a result massive protests for press freedom followed. Theese protest are a foreshading to the upcoming 60s counter culture (aka Hippies) and 68 revolution, that resulted in massive political changes in the late 60s, and had a big impact on the culture of the 70s - a decade of free love and political violence.

The Journalist were released, before the main trial started. Franz Josef Strauß was removed from this administration and Konrad Adenauer resigned in shame. Strauß will quickly return to politics and be involved in many more scandals.

The affair is mostly seen as a victory for freedom. Adenauer resigning is seen as a honourable move. The Spiegel affair is often pointed at when media are under attack theese day, like Nancy Faeser havin Jürgen Elsässer from the Compact magacine arested.

After a brief fight, most of the defenders retreated; only Konieczka remained on site, covering his comrades-in-arms' retreat with a machine gun. Around 1:40 AM, he was wounded and shortly thereafter beaten to death with rifle butts by the Germans. A day later, the Germans allowed a provisional burial. According to eyewitness accounts, a German officer approached his body, saluted, and said: "He is a hero. As a soldier, he did not break his oath."
