  Zygmunt Berling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Berling remained in prison until 1940, first in Starobielsk and later Moscow, but was fortunate to avoid the fate of many Polish officers murdered by the Soviets in the Katyn Massacre.
After the Sikorski-Maisky Pact of 17 August 1941 Berling was released from prison and nominated to be the commander of the recreated 5th Infantry Division, and later the commander of the temporary camp for Polish soldiers in Krasnowodsk.
The growing tensions between the Polish government in exile of Władysław Sikorski in London and Josef Stalin, eventually led to many of the Polish soldiers in Soviet territory under General Władysław Anders leaving the Soviet Union and forming the 2nd Polish Corps in the Middle East, under British command.
