A paper dedicated to the identification of a Polish soldier from the 1st Armoured Division under the command of General Stanisław Maczek, who fell in 1944 in Normandy, during World War II. The remains were found at the Urville-Langannerie Polish War Cemetery. A team from the Department of Forensic Genetics at the Pomeranian Medical University in Szczecin, commissioned by the Ministry of Culture Heritage and Sport, exhumed the remains in order to carry out genetic identification tests. A comprehensive anthropological analysis of the heavily degraded remains was carried out, and biological samples were secured for genetic testing. The identification of Jan Dusza is the first case of restoring the identity of an active combatant from the First Armoured Division. In the case analysis, the analysis of mitochondrial DNA in highly degraded biological material proved crucial. Genetic studies decided to reject the original historical hypothesis No. I at their preliminary stage. Regarding hypothesis No. II, a comprehensive genetic analysis of mitochondrial and autosomal DNA was carried out. Comparative material was obtained from the alleged victim's sister. Thanks to the analysis of kinship in the maternal line based on the mtDNA haplotype, it was possible to establish that the remains belong to Jan Dusza, who served in the Podhale Rifle Battalion, part of the Polish 1st Armoured Division. The research was co-financed by the Polish Ministry of Heritage and National Culture.
一篇专门介绍在第二次世界大战期间于 1944 年在诺曼底阵亡的波兰第一装甲师的斯坦尼斯瓦夫·马切克将军指挥下的一名波兰士兵的论文。遗骸是在 Urville-Langannerie 波兰战争公墓发现的。受文化遗产和体育部委托，什切青波美拉尼亚医科大学法医遗传学系的一个团队挖掘了这些遗骸，以进行基因识别测试。对严重退化的遗骸进行了全面的人类学分析，并采集了生物样本进行基因测试。确定扬·杜舒的身份是恢复第一装甲师现役战斗人员身份的第一个案例。在案例分析中，对高度降解生物材料中的线粒体 DNA 分析证明是至关重要的。遗传研究决定在初步阶段拒绝最初的历史假设 I。关于假设 II，对线粒体和常染色体 DNA 进行了全面的遗传分析。从据称受害者的妹妹那里获得了比较材料。基于 mtDNA 单倍型的母系亲缘关系分析，证明了遗骸属于扬·杜舒，他曾在波兰第一装甲师的喀尔巴阡步枪营服役。该研究由波兰遗产和民族文化部共同资助。
