-
Having crossed the Pilica we reached a village, where a large guerrilla group was stationed in a forest,
-
around a thousand soldiers. The25th Piotrków Infantry Regiment.
-
‘Lanca’ decided to join this unit, because it was a small group.
-
Just around 150 people. The 25th Regiment was quite a big unit. It was a regiment, a thousand people.
-
They gave us a warm welcome, they even gave us pay.
-
Yet the very first night ‘Lanca’ ordered to saddle up horses, pack the wagons and he retreated from the unit, God knows where.
-
In fact, he just took the pay and ran away.
-
The good thing was that our commander, lieutenant ‘Osuch’ was on friendly terms with the commander of the regiment in Włodzimierz,
-
and he supported us and the major accepted us in the regiment after all.
-
In this regiment we secured its position in the village of Mechlin. For almost a month.
-
But after this time we went to another place, a bad one, because it was close to a road.
-
It ended sadly, because the Germans attacked. It was too close to the road and these people died.
-
Yet we luckily were left unharmed. Nobody attacked us.
-
Contrary, in the Mechlin village, where we stayed for almost a month,
-
they organized a sweep operation, attacking us with all the forces of Kalmucks, those Vlasov followers from the RONA.
-
You know, these Soviet troops which were taken prisoner by the Germans and then incorporated in the German army.
-
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.
