‘You’re not gonna believe this: last night there was a huge affair in our street!
-
They were shooting around at midnight, there was a huge fire under the bridge!
-
Some saboteurs burned the trucks! The Germans were shooting! The whole commotion! The ambulance sirens!’
-
And I asked: ‘Well, did they catch those guys?’
-
‘No, I guess not! Anyways, they got really mad because 12 or 13 trucks got burnt.’

Tadeusz joins the scouts, later the resistance army
-
In my school, the head teacher was an aunt of this boy who went to the Staszic school,
-
there was this very good 16th Zawisza Czarny Warsaw Scout Team.
-
Soon after that, the instructors from this team told our head teacher
-
that they wanted to recruit some people in our school.
-
And naturally they started in my class
-
and me and my schoolmates from other classes became members of this team.
-
Of course, we weren’t told what kind of team it was and where its headquarters was.
-
We weren’t told anything about this.
-
But they told us a great deal about conspiracy.
-
We didn’t know what it meant,
-
but our team leader, Michał Sianorzecki, who was killed in the Warsaw Uprising,
-
thought that it was very important for us to know what it was all about and told us a lot about it.
-
There was democracy in our organization and the troop council decided, because all our instructors belonged to the Home Army,
-
our troop to be part of the Szare Szeregi [Gray Ranks - the underground paramilitary Polish Scouting Association].
