    There is a few inaccuracies. That boy did not sold cube for a few bucks. He met polish military convoy and he got a couple of canned meat tins and he run away leaving his bag with the bear inside. It is a version I know.

    He wasn't hard smoking bear(is to possible?) He ate cigarettes and sipped
    beer.

    During Battle of Monte Cassino Wojtek watched soldiers carrying ammo boxes and he decided to help them. It looks like it was his own decision. He came to the truck full of supplies and he tried to take one of the boxes. When amazed soldier understood what Wojtek wants to do he gave him a box.
