One Thousand and One Nights story heard during Anders army odysey
 
This sounds like one of One Thousand and One Nights stories linking together two cities Kraków in Poland and Samarakand in Uzbekistan. This Legend is from Middle-ages but final of this 700 years story was marked in 1942 when soldiers of Anders army released from captivity in Gulags as an army were transferred to then British occupied part of Iran. Their way were through then part of CCCP south east republics which were in Middle-ages part of big Mongols empire in that part of Steppe Khanate of Khiva... (but I don't like to tell now the story even If you are curious :D)

First please hear the St. Mary's Trumpet Call from Kraków

This melody was so important for soldiers of 2Corps after what was told them in Samarakand that they play them often letter on their battlefield's
here on Monte Cassino in 1944.

And then you can read Pages 94 to 99 is this Middle-ages Legendary story in English :)
rest is some background story why polish solders were there in 1942 and whole geopolitical context and also academic articles about both legends
