-
A lot of people died there. Both ours and Germans.
-
Becoming a partisan; battle against Germans
-
We got into the Chojnów forests and joined the guerrilla unit ‘Lance’.
-
A squad that came from the Zamość region.
-
Pretty well armed. We started our guerrilla life there.
-
Together with ‘Lance’ we crossed the Pilica river.
-
Because I could ride, and somebody from the horse patrol had just died,
-
they put me on a horse and I liked it there.
-
You know, for a 15 year old boy who suddenly found himself in a guerrilla squad and was given a horse, it was real fun.
-
Of course, it did not soothe my pain not to be in the Uprising.
-
After all my sisters were there, my mother stayed in Warsaw too, and my grandma as well.
-
And me, so far without an injury... nothing happened to me.
-
I’m in the guerrilla troop, moving away from Warsaw.
-
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.
