I somehow doubt that all of the men in the picture are prisoners (those sitting in the sled looks rather well-to-do) but I cannot prove my opinion... --194.22.3.6 13:11, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]


I recognized one of the men in this photo who was a prisoner in a camp near Usa River 1940-1941. The person driving in the front of the sled is Boniface Banasik who was a member of the Polish Air Force in 1934-36, was in the Air Force reserves afterwards and escaped to Russia, was captured in January, 1940, and imprisoned in a Siberian Concentration Camp. In November of 1941 he escaped with some fellow Poles and they made their way to England where they joined the RAF in February, 1942. — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 2600:1000:B10A:322D:6066:66D6:2EA7:FFFE (talk) 23:49, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
