-
The Germans mainly used them to liquidate the guerrillas, the Warsaw Uprising
-
and these people showed incredible cruelty. These were savage people.
-
They attacked the Stefanów village, where the 25th regiment was stationed,
-
nearby there was the village of Gałki, where the 72nd Regiment was, smaller, around 500 people.
-
So both these regiments fought a whole day battle with the Germans,
-
Defeat in Okecie
-
In 1943, I got into the Home Army.
-
So, unfortunately, I wasn’t fighting with my friends from scout times in the Warsaw Uprising,
-
because I was already a Home Army soldier, stationed at the 7th Infantry regiment called ‘Garłuch’ at Okęcie.
-
It turns out that the commander of the regiment, major ‘Wysocki’,
-
it was his pseudonym, his real name was Babiarz,
-
found out that the Germans had fortified the airport strongly.
-
They had collected a huge load of arms, machine guns and so on.
-
The Home Army had very few weapons, actually none.
-
We just had these grenades and our platoon had two machine guns from the WWI, without the feeders.
-
You had to insert each bullet separately into the barrel, because otherwise there was no shooting,
-
because we didn’t have those clips which work as magazines for the bullets.
-
The commander of the regiment, at 4 o´clock gave an order to not attack those hangars.
-
I don’t know why this order was not given at 1 or 2 o´clock.
-
And the ‘W’ hour (hour of attack) was at 5 o´clock.
