Polish Intelligence cell 'Ilgrim' in Sweden during WWII run by Granpa Olly

Granpa Olszowski gets a line in an officially-sanctioned book: Tessa Strling, Daria Nalecz & Tadeusz Dubiciki (eds), Intelligence Co-operation between Poland and Great Britain during World War II: Report of the Anglo-Polish Historical Committee, vol. 1 (London: Valentine Mitchell, 2005). On page 334 there is a brief mention of a network called 'Gustav' which had a cell at Stockholm 'known as "Ilgrim", and headed by Lt. Olszowski'.

Funny how both my grandfathers were spies...and I do remember Granpa Olly saying that he new of Granpa Salicath from before Mum and Dad got together...curious...

Kind regards,
