[edit] Independent groups?

According to pl wiki only Narew and Polesie had the status of an Independent (samodzielna). Wyszków has an article at pl:Grupa Operacyjna Wyszków. There are no useful hits for "Samodzielna Grupa Operacyjna Grodno", according to Polish version of Battle of Grodno (1939) this group was created from some other units and took part in that battle. I am having trouble detererming the right name for the Anders Group (combinations of "Grupa Operacyjna Kawalerii Andersa" net no more than 5 hits), but there certainly was no "Samodzielna Grupa Operacyjna Kawalerii Andersa" ([1]). Perhaps the confusion stems from the fact that those other groups were not attached to other armies, so were independent in practice - even if that was not reflected in their names, like in the case of Narew and Polesie groups? PS. Further, according to pl wiki, Polesie adopted the name Samodzielna only on 27th September; if so it is possible that only Narew was officially Samodzielna (if at all... this needs more research).--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 21:42, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
