neutral  Andrzej Mierzejewski: Jeżeli wojsko przyjechało do Drawska Pom., to najbliżej do Wisły ma jeszcze ponad 170 km (w okolicy Bydgoszczy). W kontekście wojskowym nie używałbym aż tak szerokich uogólnień. ;-)

  -> This is not a military text. This is publicity. Broad discretion is allowed for qualitative description. The shores of the Vistula must be taken more figuratively than literally: broad swaths of land. They did not come to fish.
