-
Within half an hour 125 men were killed.
-
I bear personal grudges towards the commander that he had not given the order at least an hour earlier.
-
After all he knew there were no phones so the orders had to be carried out on foot.
-
And often you couldn’t carry them out, because you ran up into a patrol or something.
-
So you send not just one messenger, but a few.
-
That is how it ended. That is why the regiment got disbanded.
-
Either we got through to Warsaw on our own or to the Kampinos Forest.
-
When this order to disband reached us, my commander and friend, cadet ‘Witold’ wanted to shoot himself.
-
Lieutenant ‘Andrzej’, the commander of this company grabbed his sten,
-
I took him by the hands and told him: ‘What, have you gone mad, cadet?!
-
The war is just beginning and you want to commit suicide?!
-
There will still be chances for you to get shot five times!’
-
So he stayed. He died later on. He never returned from guerrilla fighting.

Tadeusz’s brother: tasks, actions, death
-
My brother had this job in the intelligence.
-
Mainly he was about pursuing informers who might have harmed Poles.
-
My brother did not tell me what it looked like,
-
but I knew when he was directed to execute an informer with whom he was in touch through trading in the ghetto.
-
This informer, they said, was trading furs and the like.
-
Since the Jews were selling all their valuables.
