‘Wilk’, meaning ‘wolf’, was the pseudonym of Col. A. Krzy
anowski, and he had
not
been flown either from London or Warsaw. The NKVD probably confused him with his deputy chief of staff, Maj. Teodor Cetys, ‘Viking’, who was a
cichociemni
and had been flown in by SOE on 8/9 April 1942.

ski, but more probably, given the Muscovite tone of the sentiments, from the Foreign Office and hence from the British Embassy in Moscow. This last possibility begs the question of how and when Moscow received news of the outbreak.
