Fun fact: on one of the art pictures you can see bear with satchel on his side that says 'Wojtek'. It's a reference to real bear named Wojtek that served during WW2 in Polish army: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wojtek_(bear)

Yeah, there's also a symbol of "Poland Fighting" used during the Warsaw Uprising on the same art.

From that link:

"He is now referenced in the new Hearts of Iron IV game, as an easter egg achievement, Bearer of Artillery."

Looks like someone could update the article to include Scythe now.
