Our scout authorities made it clear not to get us into sabotage.
-
Naturally, we cheated them a bit with how old we were.
-
Me, being 14, I got into a non-commissioned officer school, because, naturally, I lied I was 17.
-
Brother Jerzy’s commander found out that I was a scout,
-
that I was being trained in how to trail to do some intelligence activity.
-
They trained our perceptiveness, imagination.
-
I had to know all these gateway passages, shortcuts which often came in handy.
-
And my brother’s commander reckoned I might be useful for them as a boy in shorts.
-
There also was an intelligence cell, which was supposed to trail various uncertain people, informers, mainly secret agents.

Life in Warsaw; socialist conspiracy
-
In Warsaw we needed to rent a flat,
-
since our house where we used to live was destroyed during the wartime military operations.
-
We rented a flat in Ujazdowskie Alleys.
-
The landlady was a Mrs Kijewska.
-
Our life in occupied Warsaw began.
-
In Warsaw, naturally, we did not bow to the Germans.
-
This was in the so-called General-Gouvernement.
-
There were no great liberties, but we could go to primary schools.
-
My sisters used to attend to the school run by the Sisters of the Holy Family of Nazareth.
