Voytek, The Alcoholic, Nazi-Fighting, Iranian Bear.

Sometimes history is way, way weirder than fiction. Case in point, this story of Voytek, an Iranian brown bear who was enlisted in the Polish Army in WWII and fought at the battle of Monte Cassino in Italy. Check out the link.

Artist's conception.
