Another source of suspicion against Krystyna and Kowerski was the ease — which her accusers might have understood, had they known her better — with which she had managed in Istanbul, Turkey, during their flight from Hungary, to charm transit visas through French-mandated Syria from the pro- Vichy French consul.
Similarly, by the time Krystyna was holding a commission, for cover purposes, as a British WAAF flight officer ( November 21, 1944 — May 14, 1945), when she visited Polish military headquarters in uniform she was treated by the military chiefs with marks of the highest respect.
Buried next to her in 1988 was her comrade in arms and chief partner in life, Andrzej Kowerski.
